The 212-214 North Livingston Avenue site is currently an active National Priorities List location under EPA ID 110039012341. Primary contamination involves tetrachloroethylene (PCE), a volatile organic compound. Exposure pathways include vapor intrusion into residential structures and groundwater migration from historical industrial spills. Long-term exposure to PCE is linked to neurological damage, kidney dysfunction, and increased cancer risks. Pine Brook sits within a high-density industrial corridor with forty-seven regulated sites within five miles, including the Sharkey Landfill and Microtronics Corporation. Regulatory efforts focus on containing the plume to prevent further degradation of local aquifers. To defend your health, first, install a high-quality carbon filtration system for all household water. Second, conduct sub-slab depressurization or vapor intrusion testing in your home to detect airborne chemicals. Third, subscribe to New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection alerts to monitor local groundwater remediation progress. These steps mitigate direct contact with legacy industrial pollutants common in this region. Regular soil testing is also recommended if you maintain a home garden, as historical runoff from nearby sites like Fantastic Dry Cleaning may have deposited persistent chemicals in the upper soil layers.
