Hanscom has since been managed as a regional aviation facility, whose major users are a mix of commuter/commercial air services, corporate aviation, private pilots, flight schools, some charters and light cargo.
Hanscom's popularity, especially with business users, can be first attributed to its accessibility to "America's Technology Region," Routes 95/ 128, and the fact it is only 20 miles from the City of Boston, the hub of the nation's best cultural, educational, financial, medical, and entertainment establishments.

 ATSDR - PHA - Hanscom Field/Hanscom Air Force Base, Bedford, Middlesex County, Massachusetts
ATSDR compared the estimated lifetime dose from consuming drinking water from the Hartwell Road well field (0.000013 mg/kg/day; Table C-4) to the cancer effects levels (CELs) for TCE, which are based on animal studies in which carcinomas were observed at 1,000 mg/kg/day (NTP 1990 as cited in ATSDR 1997).
For comparison, ATSDR calculated a daily consumption from exposure to the average concentration of the water by multiplying the concentration of iron (31 ppm or mg/kg) by the daily ingestion rate (2 liters of water for an adult and 1 liter for a child).
Therefore, the daily increases in consumption (from drinking water from the Hartwell Road well field) are not expected to cause a person's daily dose to exceed levels known to induce poisoning (e.g., greater than 200 mg/event).
