The Edward E Russell Company site, EPA ID 110002496433, maintains an active status on the National Priorities List, indicating it remains a high priority for federal cleanup efforts. There are 17 hazardous sites within ten miles of North Haven, including the Wilbur Cross Commons Business Park and Pine Swamp. Exposure pathways for these unspecified hazardous substances typically include the inhalation of contaminated dust, ingestion of groundwater, or direct skin contact with polluted soil. Potential health risks vary based on the specific toxins but often involve long-term respiratory issues, skin irritation, or more severe systemic toxicity if pollutants enter the local aquifer. To defend against these risks, residents should first utilize high-quality HEPA air filtration systems inside their homes to capture airborne particulates. Second, avoid using private well water for drinking or gardening unless it has been professionally tested for industrial contaminants. Third, remove shoes before entering the house to prevent tracking outdoor soil into living areas.
