Carrollton, Texas
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Carrollton residents face a critical environmental hazard from the Furneaux PCBs Superfund site located only two miles away. This area earned a maximum hazard score because dangerous chemicals called Polychlorinated Biphenyls are present in the environment. These toxins stay in the soil and water for a long time and do not break down easily. For your daily life, this means you must be careful about contact with local dirt or water near the site to avoid getting sick.
