Aurora, Colorado
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Residents in the 80010 area face a critical environmental hazard rated 10.0 out of 10. The primary threat comes from Buckley Air Force Base, located four miles away. This site is contaminated with tetrachloroethylene, a toxic chemical often used in dry cleaning. In daily life, this means chemicals could move through the ground or water and enter homes as invisible vapors. These vapors can cause long-term health problems if you breathe them in every day without knowing it.
