Threat Summary
Batavia faces a critical hazard level due to the Fair Oak Park Lead Site located only 2.6 miles away. This site contains dangerous amounts of lead, a toxic heavy metal. For residents, this means soil and dust around your home could be contaminated. Lead is especially dangerous for children because it hurts brain development and growth. You must be careful about playing in dirt or tracking dust inside, as even small amounts can cause permanent health problems for your family.
