| Abstract |
This document presents the screening-level Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) for the Lower Ottawa River, Ohio. This HHRA quantitatively evaluates both cancer risks and noncancer health hazards from exposure to contaminants in the Lower Ottawa River, extending from the rivers mouth on Maumee Bay in Lake Erie to River Mile (RM 8.8). The HHRA evaluates risks to children and adults in the absence of any remedial action and institutional controls, such as the fish consumption advisories currently in place. The HHRA uses the most recent U.S. EPA policy and guidance as well as additional site data and analyses. The HHRA shows that cancer risks and non-cancer health hazards to the reasonable maximum exposure (RME) individual associated with consumption of fish from the Lower Ottawa River are above levels of concern. Consistent with U.S. EPA risk assessment guidance, the RME scenario is defined as the highest exposure that could reasonably be expected to occur for a given exposure pathway at a site. |
