Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Oakdale faces a critical hazard level of 10.0 out of 10. The Former Big B 1 Hour Cleaners is a Superfund site located 3.6 miles away. This location released volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, into the environment. These chemicals can turn into invisible gases that enter buildings through the soil or pollute local water. For daily life, this means the air you breathe indoors and the water from your tap might contain harmful substances that are difficult to detect without professional testing.
