Fenton, Missouri
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Fenton faces a critical environmental hazard score of 10.0. The nearby Brompton Cleaners Superfund site contains dangerous chemicals called dioxins and furans. These substances stay in the environment for a very long time and can build up in the soil or water near your home. For your daily life, this means you must be careful about touching local dirt or eating food grown in untreated ground. These chemicals are toxic even in very small amounts and pose serious long-term health risks.
Action Required
Immediate action is necessary due to the critical hazard score. Residents should contact the Air And Waste Management Association-Greater St Louis to obtain technical information regarding local air and soil quality standards.
