Bloomsbury, New Jersey
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Bloomsbury faces a critical environmental hazard level of 10.0. The Alpha Borough Sanitary Landfill is located only three miles away and contains asbestos. Asbestos is a dangerous mineral that can break into tiny fibers. If these fibers get into the air or soil, they can be breathed in during yard work or outdoor play. Because there are twenty-three hazardous sites within ten miles, residents must be very careful about disturbing soil or dust in this area.

If you require further housing counseling regarding environmental risks, the Community Action Committee of Lehigh Valley, Inc. is available at 610-691-5620. Document all local dust issues and report unusual soil disturbances to state environmental authorities immediately to ensure continued site oversight.
