Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Pulaski faces a critical environmental threat with a hazard score of 8.1 out of 10. The primary danger comes from the Pulaski Plastics Fire site located just three miles away. Because this site contains unspecified hazardous substances, local families must be careful. These chemicals can seep into the soil or move through the air after a fire event. This means your gardening, outdoor play, and water quality could be affected by hidden toxins that are not safe for people living in Tennessee.
