Oceanport, New Jersey
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Oceanport faces a critical environmental hazard score of 10.0. The Metallurgical Ind Superfund site is only 3.6 miles away and contains dangerous hazardous substances. Because this site is still active, chemicals could move through the soil or water. This means you must be careful about touching local dirt or drinking water from private wells. Living near multiple industrial sites increases your risk of long-term health issues. Always wash your hands after playing outside to stay safe from invisible toxins.

Residents must take immediate steps to secure their living environment. Contact the American Littoral Society to learn about local water quality monitoring and coastal protection efforts.
