Threat Summary
Topeka residents in ZIP 66612 face a critical hazard level of 10.0. The Hydro-Flex Inc. Superfund site is a primary source of danger because it released a chemical called PCE. This chemical is often used in dry cleaning and metal degreasing. It can seep into the ground and move through the air or water. This means chemicals from the site might enter your home through the soil or basement. You must stay alert to protect your long-term health.
