Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
College Park faces a critical environmental hazard score of 10.0. The primary threat is the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, a large Superfund site located only 3.5 miles away. Because this site contains unspecified hazardous substances, local soil and groundwater may be contaminated. This means pollution could potentially enter the water you drink or the dirt where you play. With over fifty industrial sites nearby, the cumulative risk to your health is very high.
