New York, New York
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Your area in New York has a critical hazard score of ten out of ten. This means the environment faces serious risks from pollution. The City Chemical Corp Superfund site is located less than five miles away and contains dangerous substances that have not been fully cleared. These chemicals can get into the air you breathe or the water you use. Living near so many industrial sites means you must be careful about local dust and soil in your daily life.
