| | ATSDR - Health Consultation - Locust Grove Mercury Response Site, Locust Grove, Henry County, Georgia |
 | | The Georgia Division of Public Health (GDPH) received a request from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for assistance in investigating and evaluating the public health implications of a mercury theft and release incident, which took place in Locust Grove, Henry County, Georgia on March 29, 2003 [1]. |
 | | Because mercury was precariously handled (resulting in a residential release), GDPH determined that a health consultation assessing the potential for adverse health effects associated with metallic mercury exposure was warranted. |
 | | The Georgia Department of Human Resources prepared this Rummel Fibre Company, Rome, Floyd County, Georgia health consultation under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). |
