The 45-49 Gingerbread Castle Road Asbestos site and the Metaltec/Aerosystems site represent significant local threats. Metaltec is a National Priorities List site with historic groundwater and soil contamination. Exposure pathways include inhalation of airborne fibers and ingestion of contaminated groundwater. Health risks involve respiratory diseases and potential carcinogen exposure from volatile organic compounds found at industrial sites. The EPA Site ID 110071889610 tracks progress at the Gingerbread Castle Road location, which remains active. To defend against these risks, first, residents should utilize HEPA-certified air filtration systems to capture microscopic particulates. Second, avoid any soil disturbance or gardening in untested ground near the 0.53-mile radius of the Metaltec site. Third, ensure all household water is tested for volatile organic compounds or use certified carbon filtration if relying on local wells. Continuous monitoring of EPA updates is necessary as several sites within five miles are still undergoing remediation or assessment.
