UNDERSTANDING DIOXIN-LIKE COMPOUNDS IN INDOOR DUST
Cline, P.V.
Protect Gainesville's Citizens Inc., 99 pp, 2014
A study was funded by a grant from EPA's Environmental Justice Small Grant Program to a community organization, Protect Gainesville's Citizens Inc., to evaluate the concentrations and patterns of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds in indoor dust from homes near the former Koppers wood treating Superfund site in Gainesville, Florida. In 2012 EPA collected the initial samples from 30 homes, 17 of them adjacent to the Koppers site. Potential dioxin-like contributions from flame retardant chemicals present in foam furniture or electronics in the homes were also investigated. No dust sample had a concentration above 100 ppt. Indoor dioxin data were evaluated before and after the Koppers surface soil remediation. http://www.alachuacounty.us/Depts/epd/Pollution/Documents/1658_PGC%20USEPA%20Indoor%20Dioxin%20Dust%20Study%20Report%2011-30-2014.pdf See additional information at http://www.alachuacounty.us/Depts/epd/Pollution/Pages/CabotKoppersSuperfund.aspx .
