HEALTH CONSULTATION
TARPON SPRINGS PRIVATE WELLS
(STAUFFER CHEMICAL COMPANY)
TARPON SPRINGS, PINELLAS COUNTY, FLORIDA
Based upon the information reviewed, we conclude that carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic
illnesses are unlikely in children or adults from exposure to chemicals in private well water near
the Stauffer site.
Because there is continued community concern about chemicals in private well water near the
Stauffer site, the Florida Department of Health recommends that, until site remediation is
completed, periodic well samples be analyzed for site-related chemicals to ensure timely
detection of any increases. If additional information becomes available concerning chemicals
found in private wells near this site, Florida DOH will evaluate that information to determine what actions, if any, are necessary.
