An expert on the remediation of chemical contamination, Dr. Mehrdad Javaherian provides various environmental services as the technical director of LRM Consulting, Inc., and Principal Consultant at Endpoint Consulting in California. Dr. Mehrdad Javaherian has also worked as a consulting environmental epidemiologist for a number of organizations, including the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), a federal public health organization with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the California Department of Public Health.
In a recent press release, the ATSDR announced that it completed an investigation of the Pacific Coast Pipeline Superfund site in Fillmore, California, and found that dust levels in the city can present a health risk to people who have particular pre-existing health conditions. The agency’s report on the investigation also states that it’s improbable that Fillmore residents have been exposed to enough polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and lead from the site’s dust and soil between 2011 and 2013 to experience health consequences. In the report, the ATSDR concluded that the site remediation and proposed redevelopment will effectively protect the public from encountering harmful substances.
The ATSDR presented its report to the public in June 2015, and representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency offered additional site updates.
