East Lansing, Michigan
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
East Lansing faces a critical environmental hazard score of 10.0. The Adam's Plating Superfund site is located 4.3 miles away and is currently active. The main danger here is asbestos, a fibrous mineral that can cause serious lung problems if breathed in. Because there are seven hazardous sites within ten miles, dust from construction or old buildings might carry these dangerous fibers. You must be careful about disturbing old insulation or soil in areas known for industrial waste.
