Regulatory Overview

The COATING SCIENCES, INC. (FORMER) facility, identified by EPA ID 110071100576, is an active site on the National Priorities List. There are five hazardous sites within five miles and 29 sites within ten miles, including the Kaman Aerospace Corp and the East Hartford Municipal Landfill. Primary exposure pathways include the inhalation of volatile vapors, ingestion of contaminated groundwater, and skin contact with polluted soil. Health risks associated with these hazardous substances include potential respiratory damage, nervous system disruption, and long-term cancer risks. To defend against these threats, residents must take three specific actions. First, install a HEPA and activated carbon air filtration system to capture indoor airborne contaminants. Second, use only municipal water or install a high-grade filtration system if using a private well. Third, establish raised garden beds with imported clean soil to avoid direct contact with local ground contaminants. Continuous monitoring of EPA reports for the Jacobs Manufacturing Company and Knolis Atomic Power Laboratory Windsor sites is recommended due to their close proximity and the cumulative impact of these industrial locations on the local environment.
