Bramwell, West Virginia
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Bramwell faces a critical environmental hazard score of 9.3 out of 10. The primary threat is the Freeman School Lead Site located only 1.4 miles away. Lead is a dangerous heavy metal that does not disappear on its own. In your daily life, this means dust or soil around your home could be contaminated. If you breathe in or swallow this dust, it can hurt your brain and body, especially if you are young or growing. You must remain cautious and alert.

Residents must take immediate steps to secure their living environment. Contact the Mercer County Trappers And Root Association Inc for localized environmental information.

Community support is available through the Bluewell Improvement Association Inc and the Bramwell Foundation to discuss neighborhood safety initiatives. You should request a professional lead inspection if your home was built before 1978. Document any visible soil erosion or dust accumulation and report these findings to local health officials to ensure proper monitoring and remediation.
