Youngstown, Ohio
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
SECTION 1 – THREAT SUMMARY Residents in the 44507 ZIP code face a critical environmental hazard level of 10.0 out of 10. The Booker Street Paint site is the primary Superfund concern nearby. Because the site contains unspecified hazardous substances, these chemicals can seep into the ground or travel through the air. This means local soil and water might not be safe for gardening or play. Frequent exposure to industrial waste increases long-term health risks for families living in this high-density industrial area.
Action Required
SECTION 3 – ACTION REQUIRED Residents should immediately contact the Community Action Partnership of Mercer County at 724-342-6222 to discuss safe housing options and environmental health resources. You may also contact the Shenango Valley Urban League at 724-981-5310 for assistance with housing quality inspections. Engaging with the Four Square Block Watch can provide updates on local environmental safety initiatives. For those concerned about local land use, the Austintown Beautification Committee offers guidance on community revitalization. Taking these steps ensures your family accesses available federal and local protections against industrial contamination and hazardous waste exposure.
