First printing Printed in the United States of.America 1500 44225, - ACKNOWLEDGMENTS , The editors wish to agknowledie the help andcooperation of all those who made the "Spanish,Speaking American Challenge Symposiite a success. Special thanks"is due Dr. Mario Melendez fromthe Chicano Mobile Institute of the Umi'versity of Utahebr his fl.nancial and moral support during the long-weeks of preparationand preseitation. We also appreciate the support of 'Dallin H. Oaks, Presidentof Brigham Young University, who expressed his deep interest intfils symposium when he said, "Wre, have tried to bring fogethete the bestheart's and minds for this effort to make a better homelandfor all 4mericans.1' We believe that the group we have-assembled is wellqualified to suggest positive skutione to the challenges facini our country fprelaiion to its Spanish-speaking ,people,; -We hope yourefforts tdward this end will make our eYmposium a productive,ane.satisfying experience for all of um. Acknowledgments also go to thecolleges and depauments which colghordted with the organization and helpedwith the perqopnel to strengthen a high academic approach toodt conference. These people, too numerops to mention, demonstratedtheir gendine interest in the Spanish-speaking Americans. .We appreciate all thoseybol camefrom other cities and"states.As a result 4 this symposium, we feelthat we have launchdd BYUinto the mainstream of understanding andconfr6nt- ing the challenges facing the Spanish:speakingpeopile in their struggle .for education and for finding their properplace.in our society. Some- .one sounded the key wordand expressed the true meaning of it allwhen he said of the need forvour latestinvol7ement; "The Spanish-speaking Americans may appearquiet or slightly withdrAWn within the English-speaking culture,those who know them in their own ,Ilture know theirstrength of Will andcharacter, their , intelligence,,.their profound struggles, and theirpowerful leadership qualities. Tiie fishout of water tells yon nothing about:the beauty and excitement of the sea. Take a di'p into their world and knowthek as they are." We feel that this symposium has donejust that. Now let us face this challenge. We have an open field, we have theball, what do . we donow? Our acknowledgments go to those whomade not only the sympositte-- a successbut also made this publication possible.They include Robert K. Titomas, Academic Vice Prsident,Bruce B.

    Health Consultation TRAVERSE MOUNTAIN: THALLIUM IN DRINKING WATER LEHI, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH Prepared by Utah Department of Health DECEMBER 3, 2014 Prepared under a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Community Health Investigations Atlanta, Georgia 30333 Health Consultation: A Note of Explanation A health consultation is a verbal or written response from ATSDR or ATSDR’s Cooperative Agreement Partners to a specific request for information about health risks related to a specific site, a chemical release, or the presence of hazardous material. In order to prevent or mitigate exposures, a consultation may lead to specific actions, such as restricting use of or replacing water supplies; intensifying environmental sampling; restricting site access; or removing the contaminated material. In addition, consultations may recommend additional public health actions, such as conducting health surveillance activities to evaluate exposure or trends in adverse health outcomes; conducting biological indicators of exposure studies to assess exposure; and providing health education for health care providers and community members. This concludes the health consultation process for this site, unless additional information is obtained by ATSDR or ATSDR’s Cooperative Agreement Partner which, in the Agency’s opinion, indicates a need to revise or append the conclusions previously issued.
