Is Your Town Toxic?
Every Dot on This Map Is a Danger.
The interactive map below displays Superfund sites across the United States. These sites are polluted locations requiring long-term cleanup efforts due to hazardous material contamination.
Most people have no idea they’re living near one of these sites.
What is a Superfund Site?
It’s a location polluted with toxic chemicals—PCBs, heavy metals, dioxins, and more—so dangerous that it’s on the federal government’s radar for cleanup.
These sites exist in every state. They’re near homes, schools, playgrounds, rivers, farms, and parks. And they’ve been there for decades.
Health Implications
Exposure to contaminants from these sites can lead to various health issues, depending on the substances involved and the level of exposure. It’s essential to be informed about potential risks in your community.
