Chlordane in Air Force Family Housing: A Study of Houses Treated Prior to Construction

Abstract

Airborne chlordane levels were measured in 2,113 family housing units on 4 USAF installations during the winter and spring of 1981-82. The ventillation ducts were in or below the slab in all houses. Also, the soil below the houses was treated with chlordane before the slabs were poured to prevent termite infestation. The airborne chlordane concentration exceeds the action level (5 microgram/cu meter in only 2 of the houses. It is recommended that plans to sample other houses that were treated only prior to construction be cancelled because the probability of exceeding the action level is extremely low.
