Threat Summary
Residents in the 43240 area face a critical environmental hazard score of 10.0. The Alum Creek Bike Path Drum Site is the nearest Superfund location. Because it contains unspecified hazardous substances, chemicals can leak into the ground or water. This means your daily life could be affected by hidden toxins in the soil or air.
