I'm not aware of any other residential communities in Hawaii or otherwise where such high levels and increased health risks are permitted - just MCBH, Pearl Harbor and Hickam. CA officials tell us these levels would never be permitted in their residential communities. Organochlorine contamination has been confirmed in other military family housing communities in CA, etc., but they are closed (no residents). In 2005, construction of a new school began in one of these closed communities on George AFB, but as soon as the Air Force found out, they shut it down because disturbing the soils posed serious health risks to workers, etc. We don't understand why these high levels and increased health and exposure risks are permitted in MCBH, Pearl Harbor and Hickam housing, especially during 8+ years of active housing construction and persistent soil disturbing activities that further increase health and exposure risks to thousands of military children and families who are not warned or informed.
