Frankton, Indiana
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The Frankton area faces a critical environmental hazard score of 10.0. The Garage Mercury Spill is located less than five miles away. Mercury is a dangerous heavy metal that does not disappear over time. In daily life, this means you must be careful about touching old soil or eating fish from local streams. Even small amounts can hurt how your brain and nerves work. Because nine toxic sites sit within ten miles, residents should stay alert.
