Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Your neighborhood in Pittsburgh faces a critical environmental hazard score of ten out of ten. The 2021 Mon River Drum Site sits just over two miles away and is an active Superfund project. This means hazardous waste containers were found nearby, potentially leaking dangerous substances into the soil or water. For daily life, this increases the risk of coming into contact with industrial chemicals that do not belong in residential areas. Residents must stay informed about local soil and water safety.
Action Required
Residents must take immediate steps to secure their living environment against local industrial hazards. Contact the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh at 412-227-4802 for guidance on healthy housing and potential relocation assistance if environmental risks compromise your home safety. Additionally, engage with the Allegheny County Conservation District to learn about local soil health and water protection programs. These organizations provide the necessary tools to navigate the high density of Superfund sites in the 15250 area. Proactive communication with these agencies ensures your family remains protected from the twenty active sites located within ten miles.
