What are the health risks for people who have lived in this area for many years?

EPA does not have information on what community members could have been exposed to during the coke facility’s operational years. EPA’s current investigation focuses on  contaminants that may still remain in the community that could cause future impacts. If you have health concerns or questions, please contact your primary care doctor, local health department, or the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, an arm of the Centers for Disease Control. Contacts for these state and federal agencies can be found on the Contacts page of this website.
