| Abstract |
The National Electric Coil (NEC) site in Dayhoit, Kentucky, was placed on the National Priorities List on October 14, 1992. Soil contaminated with volatile organic compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals was removed from the site from 1989 through 1991. Off-site contamination includes PCBs, lead, and dioxin/furans in soil, and vinyl chloride, dichloroethene, and trichloroethene in water. The off-site soil contaminants are not at levels of health concern. Residents of the Dayhoit area could have been exposed to contaminants in the following media: groundwater, surface water, sediment, soil, food chain, and ambient air. |
