Omaha, Nebraska
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Residents in the 68107 area face a critical environmental hazard level of 10.0. The Iowa Remelt Superfund site is only 2.7 miles away and contains hazardous substances that require active federal management. Because there are fourteen toxic sites within five miles, your soil and air may contain pollutants. These contaminants can enter your body through dust or water. This means you must be very careful about playing in dirt or growing food in your yard without testing the soil first.
