Salt Lake City, Utah
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The hazard level in Salt Lake City is critical due to widespread industrial pollution. The 1900 East 2700 South Plume is the primary Superfund site affecting this area. It contains industrial solvents that have contaminated the local groundwater. These chemicals can evaporate and rise through the soil into your home as toxic vapors. This means you must be careful about indoor air quality and avoid using well water. Exposure to these substances can cause serious long-term health problems for residents.
Action Required
Residents must prioritize housing safety and environmental advocacy. Contact the Community Development Corporation of Utah at 801-994-7222ext200 to discuss housing remediation and safety programs available for local residents. For expert guidance on environmental health and soil safety, call the Utah State University-Salt Lake County Extension at 385-468-4830. You can also join Great Salt Lake Audubon to support regional conservation efforts and stay informed on local pollution issues. Taking these steps helps secure your household against the critical toxic hazards present in the Salt Lake City area and ensures access to professional mitigation resources.
