TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: MAY 1988Description: 347p., 11 appendices, 16 figs, 10 tables, 11 refsReport number: EPA-68-01-7251; EPA-902/4-88-002B; PB88-249123Subject: Environmental studies were conducted to provide data that could be used by the Commissioner of Health for the State of New York in determining whether the Emergency Declaration Area surrounding the Love Canal hazardous waste site is habitable. A soil assessment was conducted to compare concentrations of the Love Canal with concentrations found in similar western New York communities. An analytical technique was developed to detect the indicator chemicals at very low levels, ie : 1.0 ppb. The analytical technique utilized a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer operating in the selected ion monitoring mode. The analytical results were statistical compared between the EDA and the comparison areas using a modified Wilcoxon rank sum test.
