Lenore, Idaho
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Lenore faces a high hazard score of 7.6 due to the Riverview Construction Asbestos Site located only 4.5 miles away. Asbestos is a dangerous mineral that breaks into tiny fibers. If these fibers get into the air, you can breathe them in without knowing. This means you should be careful when digging or moving old building materials near the site. Disturbed dust can carry these fibers into your home or onto your clothes, creating long-term health risks for your family.
