Threat Summary
The Cincinnati area faces a critical environmental hazard level. The M. J. Daly site is an active Superfund location nearby that contains dangerous levels of mercury. Mercury is a heavy metal that can damage the brain and kidneys if touched, eaten, or inhaled. Because there are twenty-nine waste sites within five miles of your home, you must be careful about local soil and water. These poisons can stay in the environment for a long time and affect your health.
