The Alden Leeds Inc Fire site, EPA ID 110070605710, remains on the active National Priorities List, indicating that remediation efforts are ongoing but the threat persists. In 07302, exposure pathways primarily include soil vapor intrusion and the inhalation of particulate matter from the 66 nearby hazardous locations, such as the Eighth Street Site. Chromium waste is a specific local concern, posing significant risks of respiratory issues, skin irritation, and long-term carcinogenic effects. Regulatory data shows that contaminants from past industrial activity often linger in groundwater and urban topsoil. To reduce your personal risk, follow three defensive measures. First, use high-efficiency particulate air filters indoors to trap contaminated dust. Second, avoid any contact with soil in unpaved areas and wash hands immediately after being outside. Third, consume only filtered or bottled water if local advisories suggest groundwater plumes are shifting. Residents should monitor the EPA site profile for updates on the Alden Leeds cleanup and the status of the numerous chromium waste sites clustered within a one-mile radius. Constant oversight is required due to the density of these critical-score locations and their proximity to high-density residential zones in Jersey City.
