Threat Summary

Monroe residents: Thombert Inc., a special cleanup site with harmful chemicals, is 9.6 miles away. While not close, these substances can sometimes travel. This means there's a small chance they could affect your air or water. Be mindful of where your drinking water comes from. If gardening, ensure soil is safe and wash produce thoroughly. Children are more sensitive to chemicals, so it's extra important to be aware. Stay informed about local environmental updates to protect your family's health.
