Threat Summary
Families in the 89135 area face a critical environmental hazard score of 8.7 out of 10. The Walter Johnson Middle School Mercury Response site is located only 4.2 miles away. Mercury is a dangerous heavy metal that can harm the brain and nervous system. Because this site is still active, it means toxic material was released into the environment. Daily life requires extra caution regarding local soil and air quality to ensure children and adults stay safe from long-term mercury exposure.
