ATSDR - PHA - Hill Air Force Base, Hill Air Force Base, Davis and Weber Counties, Utah To evaluate whether indoor air, surface water, or crop contaminants measured in Hill AFB and the surrounding communities are associated with any unhealthy effects, ATSDR derived exposure doses based on a hypothetical exposure of a resident to each contaminant. We used the Johnson and Ettinger indoor air model and Hill AFB environmental data to estimate indoor air concentrations in residences in the Patriot Hills Housing Area, Sunset, Clinton, Roy, Layton, Clearfield, Riverdale, and South Weber. Based on this strategy, ATSDR found that none of the predicted incremental risks or air concentrations exceeded reference values and thus were not at levels that are known to cause adverse health effects. www.atsdr.cdc.gov /hac/pha/hillafb/hil_p5.html   (4013 words)
