Pevely, Missouri
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Pevely faces a critical hazard score of 9.2. The Herculaneum Lead Smelter Site is less than four miles away. This site contaminated the local area with lead, a dangerous heavy metal. Lead does not disappear; it stays in the dirt and turns into dust. This means simple things like playing in the yard or tracking mud inside can expose your family to poison. Children are at the highest risk for health problems.
