Milan, New Mexico
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Milan, New Mexico, faces a critical environmental hazard score of 10.0. The primary threat is the Black Mesa Groundwater Superfund site located just over one mile away. This site contains radioactive uranium that can enter the water supply. For daily life, this means the water you use for drinking or gardening might carry invisible risks. Living near multiple abandoned uranium mines increases the danger of breathing in toxic dust or touching contaminated soil during outdoor activities.
