Maywood, California
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Residents in Maywood live in a critical hazard zone. The Bell FMS #6 Superfund site is only one mile away and contains unspecified hazardous substances. These chemicals are dangerous because they can leak into the soil and water over time. High density of industrial sites nearby means you might breathe in dust or touch dirt that carries toxic waste. This environment increases the risk of long-term health problems for families, making it unsafe for children to play in unmonitored soil.
