Public Health Assessment for Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant, Grand Island, Hall Country, Nebraska, Region 7. CERCLIS No. NE2213820234.

PB93113231

Publication Date	1992
Page Count	89
Abstract	The Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant (CAAP), an installation under the command of the U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command (AMC-COM), U.S. Army, U.S. Department of Defense, has been involved in munitions production since 1942. Although munitions have not been produced since 1973, because of past disposal activities, CAAP was placed in 1987 on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priorities List for hazardous waste sites. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) prepared a preliminary public health assessment in 1988. ATSDR has since reviewed currently available environmental data and has prepared this public health assessment. ATSDR considers contamination from CAAP a public health hazard because of long-term human exposures to hazardous substances. Evidence exists that exposures have occurred and are occurring. The estimated exposures are to a substance or substances at concentrations in the environment that, upon long-term exposure, could cause adverse health effects to any segment of the nearby population. Those adverse health effects might be the result of either carcinogenic or noncarcinogenic toxicity from a chemical exposure.
