Threat Summary
The hazard score for your area is a critical 10 out of 10. The nearest major threat is the Alexandria Town Gas and Oronoco Outfall site. This location contains dangerous chemicals that can seep into the soil and water. Living near so many hazardous areas means you must be careful about what you touch or breathe outside. Pollutants from these sites can travel through the air or ground, potentially affecting your health over time if you are not careful.
