DRACUT —
As more and more people worry that toxic steam from the Dracut naval plant complex may have an impact on the health of hundreds of children who hone their baseball skills at the future star sports training center, EPA is giving parents a chance, let them ask questions from environmental officials and pediatricians at the Boston Children\'s Hospital.
EPA Sundayis held two information meetingsat 10:30 a. m. and 1:30 p. m. —
At Dracut\'s Central Fire Station, discuss the site, which was found earlier this year to contain unacceptable, highly non-flammable vinyl chloride and vinyl chloride, commonly used as colorless chemical solvents for skim metal parts.
\"We know people have a busy schedule for the weekend,\" said EPA spokesman Kelsey O\' neil . \".
\"We think it will give people time to visit if we are there most of the time.
\"Last month, after the EPA released the results of indoor air tests conducted between January and April, parents began to express concerns about health.
The test shows that the content of two chemical solvents in some buildings of the former Navy shipyard factory complex is 76-100 Pleasant Street
Exceeded the EPA level of guidance.
Therefore, children and adolescents
Mainly from the Dracut and surrounding communities, including Billerica and Lowell-

A page health assessment prepared by the federal agency\'s toxic substances and diseases registry, which is responsible for analyzing EPA test data.
According to the agency, vinyl chloride can cause developmental, neurological and respiratory problems and \"reasonably expect\" to cause cancer to humans at a high level.
Children and teenagers who exercise in the secondary room of the facility, where weight-
The use of lifting equipment and sports bicycles, six hours or more a week, for several weeks and months, could face the same increased health risks, the report said.
According to O\'Neill, future star\'s boss, Mark Deschamps, a former small league baseball player, opened the space in a rented space in the Navy shipyard complex on February 2006.
When the EPA shared its on-site assessment with him in August, Deschamps immediately made arrangements to leave the complex, she said.
Future star is now operating in Lowell.
The complex is a former wool and cotton mill that powers its operations using the neighboring Beverly Brook, and its problems can be traced back to a former naval shipyard tenant at United circuit.
Live on site from 1971 to 2000.
State environmental officials quoted the board as polluting the property with commercial chemical solvents.
Environmental health experts who study the data believe that the risks faced by young people using the future star facility are low.

4. Megan Sandel, a pediatrician at Boston Children\'s Hospital, specializes in environmental health and works in the Department of Pediatric Environmental Health at EPA, he said, most of the children attending the future star training course \"are not exposed to levels that may make sense. . .
I don\'t think most children will ever have problems.
\"Despite this, many parents are angry because they are not aware of the presence of toxic steam on site in advance, according to a ruling issued by the US District Court, given \"a lot of information about the environmental threat of the property \". 15, 2010.
The ruling allows EPA to enter the site against the owner Tucard LLC. At an Oct.
Meeting of the Health Council and October.
At a meeting of the Environmental Protection Agency, parents questioned why local, state and federal officials never told them about toxins.
\"Why didn\'t parents be notified?

The old son attended a five-year training course at future star.
\"We will not expose our children to these chemicals.
Public records show that on July 21, 2006, when the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the State Council sent an email, town officials were told that there was an environmental problem with the complex
Mail it to the Dracut health board to inform it of \"releasing oil and/or hazardous materials\" at the site of the naval shipyard \".
According to a notice submitted by Tucard to the National Environmental Officer on July 12, 2006, both the content of vinyl chloride and vinyl chloride exceeded the reported concentration.
Officials in the town say they believe government officials are the top priority of the problem.
\"The DEP is working on this and incorporating the Environmental Protection Agency,\" said City Manager Dennis E . \"Piendak.
\"Nothing in the letter requires action by the town.

At the election commission meeting, polak said he would never intentionally endanger a child until \"six months or nine months after the purchase of the property \", neither he nor DiCarlo knew anything about the Navy shipyard.
\"Previous owners have done environmental testing and have not disclosed reports to the state,\" Polak told selectmen . \".
\"Once we are aware of this, we have an obligation to report to the state.
When we did that, DEP came in and started working with us.

Acresite and vinyl chloride were \"detected in indoor air\" at levels exceeding the national guidelines.
In the report, SAK Environmental, a North Andover consulting and engineering firm, estimated that it would take between $40 and $180 to address Environmental issues and what remedial measures to take as needed.
Polak told selectmen that he and DiCarlo have invested $600 to address toxicity levels on site.
However, according to the new EPA guidelines passed in August, this work is not enough to get these buildings to a clean health bill.
\"This happens to be the first site we have to work with [these]new]
Given the \"EPA\'s mission to protect human health and the environment,\" Mr. O\'Neill said, our numbers are very, very conservative.
O\'Neal said that the Environmental Protection Agency, at the request of state environmental officials, began an investigation of naval shipyards in October 2008, and the state\'s environmental officials asked the federal government to assist in the analysis of pollution sources.

\"We don\'t want anyone to think that we won\'t take people out of the building if there is a direct threat, but what we need to deal with at the time has been taken care. . . [now]
In the long run, we want to ensure that all problems are resolved.
O\'Neal said the work is expected to last at least six months.
Meanwhile, federal officials are reviewing additional indoor air data currently collected from 2007to and are planning to complete a second health assessment.
The report will include a risk calculation for exposure to vinyl chloride.
