Air Quality
H-8/Item 1 Asbestos: Demolition of 34
buildings—11 in each of Phases I and
II, 13 in Phase III—could cause
asbestos to be released into the
atmosphere, potentially endangering
workers. 5F-6
H-8/Item 2 Building Contamination: when
buildings 46 and 46A, used to
manufacture plague vaccine, are
demolished in Phase I, any vestige of
plague not eradicated could cause
health impact to those in the
immediate vicinity on-site. 5F-6
H-9/Item 3 fumigation: Fumigation of
contaminated buildings could cause
air quality impacts, depending upon
the chemicals used. The use of
formaldehyde in fumigating the
plague building could have significant
impacts. 5F-6
H-9/Item 4 Construction Dust: Construction on
each block would emit approximately
one ton of dust per month for one to
two months. If dust suppression
measures were not carried out, this
would be a significant impact. 5F-7
H-9/Item 5 Construction vehicles: Construction
vehicles/equipment emitting exhaust
at construction sites have the
potential of significant air quality
impact. 5F-8
H-9/Item 6 overall phase I Impacts:
Construction would occur in four
blocks over a period of five years.
During those years, there would be
four to eight months in which
approximately one ton of dust per
month would be stirred up. 5F-8
H-9/Item 7 pilot plant: There would be a period
of one to two months during which
approximately one ton of dust per
month would be emitted. 5F-8
H-9/Item 8 phase II: During Phase II, over five years,
there would be six to twelve months
during which approximately one ton of
dust per month would be emitted. 5F-9
