Assaria, Kansas
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The hazard score for Assaria is a critical 10.0 out of 10. This rating is driven by the SCHILLING (EX) DEF-GM FLD Superfund site located just 2.1 miles away. Hazardous substances left behind from past military operations can contaminate the soil and groundwater. For your daily life, this means you must be careful about the water you drink and where children play. Toxins in the environment can cause long-term health problems if they enter your body.
