Arsenic in Minneapolis, Minnesota - Background Information You Should Know

Problem Definition/Background Information regarding arsenic poisoning in Minneapolis, Minnesota:

The South Minneapolis site is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in Hennepin County. Between 1989 and 2005, soil sampling investigations conducted by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), and USEPA indicated the presence of elevated concentrations of arsenic. The site was originally defined as bounded to the west by 16th Avenue South, to the south by East 31st Street, to the east by Hiawatha Avenue, and to the north by East 25th Street. However, air dispersion modeling conducted by USEPA has indicated that the site may encompass a larger area. The site is located primarily in an urban residential area, with some areas of commercial and industrial businesses.
