Site Description

Beloit Elementary School is located at 14277 South Main Street, Beloit, Mahoning County, Ohio.

On March 15, 2007, approximately 31 4th-grade students and a teacher reported developing a rash on portions of their arms, neck, face, and chest.


Current Activities

On March 19, Ohio EPA OSC Kollar requested U.S. EPA assistance at the Site. U.S. EPA
OSC Brian Kelly organized a conference call between state and local officials, federal health
agencies including the Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and U.S. EPA’s Environmental Response
Team.

On March 20, Ohio EPA requested U.S. EPA assistance in conducting environmental air
and wipe sampling at the Site. U.S. EPA tasked WESTON START to conduct this sampling.

On March 21, START collected air samples for metals, pesticides, fibers, and volatile
organics analysis.

Analytical results showed no connection between sampled parameters and the rash.


Planned Removal Actions

No further U.S. EPA action.  The State and Local investigation is ongoing.
