Lansing, Michigan
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Lansing residents in ZIP code 48929 face a critical hazard level of 10.0 due to multiple industrial sites. The Adam's Plating Superfund site is located 1.6 miles away and is currently active on the National Priorities List. The main danger here is asbestos, a mineral that can break into tiny fibers. In daily life, these fibers can travel through air or soil if disturbed. Breathing them in causes serious lung damage over time, making it unsafe to ignore local soil and dust.
Action Required
Immediate engagement with local housing and environmental resources is necessary to address potential home contamination. Residents should contact Michigan State University Extension Services at 586-469-7610 or Housing Services Mid Michigan at 517-541-1180 for guidance on lead and asbestos safety in local housing. For information on local environmental advocacy and clean energy initiatives, contact Energy Education For Michigan Inc or the Institute For Energy Innovation. These organizations provide resources to help navigate the risks associated with the high density of Superfund sites in the Lansing area. Proactive testing of older residential structures is highly recommended.
