Threat Summary
Hagerstown residents in the 21742 area face a critical hazard score of 9.2. The Central Chemical Superfund site is only 3.9 miles away. This facility left behind dangerous chemicals from making pesticides and fertilizers. These pollutants stay in the dirt and move through groundwater.

Toxic dust can blow into neighborhoods, so residents must monitor local air quality and keep outdoor shoes away from living areas.
