Trenton, New Jersey
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The nearest critical threat to this area is Anton’s Dry Cleaners & Laundromat. This site released a chemical called tetrachloroethylene, or PCE. This chemical is a liquid used for cleaning clothes, but it can soak into the ground and pollute the water under your feet. It can also turn into a gas that rises up into houses through the floor. This is dangerous because breathing these fumes or drinking contaminated water can make people very sick over time.
