Toxic substances can include: petroleum (gasoline, diesel, oil, etc.), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, etc.), chemicals and pesticides, persistent organic pollutants (PCBs, dioxins, furans, etc.). Toxic substances can contaminate multiple types of media, including: soil, sediment (in bays, shorelines, estuaries, lakes, rivers, etc.), water (groundwater, fresh or marine water, and stormwater or surface runoff), air (indoor and outdoor air, soil gas, and vapor intrusion), Under state and federal laws, people or entities who pollute the air, land, or water are responsible for cleaning up the contamination."</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
