Portland, Oregon
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The Gresham Fire Training Center is a major environmental threat located less than five miles from your home. This site contains high levels of lead, a dangerous heavy metal. Because there are fourteen toxic sites within five miles of your location, your risk level is critical. Lead can enter your body through dust or drinking water. Exposure causes serious learning problems for children and health issues for adults. You must be careful about local soil and aging neighborhood pipes.
Action Required
Residents must take immediate steps to secure their living environment against heavy metal exposure. Contact the Portland Housing Center at 503-282-7744 to discuss lead testing resources or home safety grants that may be available for residents in high-risk zones. For broader environmental advocacy and community support, connect with the Center For Regenerative Culture Inc to learn about local soil health and restoration projects. Document any known hazards on your property and seek professional testing if you suspect mercury or lead contamination. Coordination with these local resources provides the best protection against long-term health risks.
