Las Vegas, Nevada
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The hazard score for the 89134 area is 7.4, which is considered high. The Catalina Graphic Films Mercury Release is the nearest Superfund site. Mercury is a heavy metal that can harm your brain, kidneys, and nervous system if you breathe it in or touch it. Because there are four mercury-related sites nearby, including a school response area, you must be careful. Mercury stays in the environment for a long time and requires professional cleanup to make areas safe.
