Baltimore, Maryland
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Baltimore 21203 has a dangerous hazard score of 10.0. The American Plating Superfund site is only 3.2 miles away and it is still active. This means very harmful chemicals are in the environment nearby. These hazardous substances can get into the air you breathe or the dirt where children play. Living close to many industrial sites makes it more likely you will touch or breathe chemicals that do not belong in a safe neighborhood or a healthy home.
