Where we went today:

Hunters Point Naval Shipyard

Groundwater, sediments, soil, and surface water are contaminated with fuels, pesticides, heavy metals, PCBs, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Soil also contains asbestos. A landfill located on Parcel E also contains radium dials. People who accidentally ingest or come in direct contact with contaminated soils, sediments, surface water, or groundwater may face a health risk. Potential threats may also be presented by off-gas from VOCs, particularly vinyl chloride, present in hot spots in soil and groundwater. Various radionuclides, primarily radium 226 and cesium 137, have also been found at the Shipyard. The Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory program operated at Hunters Point Shipyard from the 1940s to 1969.

That place was awesome!
