Frequently Asked Questions

A Superfund site is a contaminated location in the United States designated by the EPA for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). These sites contain hazardous substances that pose risks to human health and the environment. The EPA manages investigation and remediation of these sites, often over many years.

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is an EPA program that requires certain industrial facilities to report annually on the amounts of toxic chemicals they release into the air, water, and land, or transfer off-site. TRI tracks over 650 chemicals including known carcinogens, persistent bioaccumulative toxics (PBTs), and PFAS compounds.

A chemical flagged as a carcinogen in TRI data has been classified by authoritative bodies (EPA, IARC, NTP) as a substance known or reasonably anticipated to cause cancer in humans. Facilities releasing carcinogens are subject to additional reporting requirements. The presence of carcinogenic releases near your area does not necessarily mean immediate health risk, but warrants awareness.

Not necessarily. Many Superfund sites are under active cleanup or have been remediated. TRI data shows reported releases, but actual health impact depends on the type and amount of chemical, distance from your home, wind and water patterns, and exposure duration. This tool provides awareness — for specific health concerns, consult your local health department or the EPA regional office.

If no environmental hazards are found in your exact ZIP code, we automatically expand the search to nearby areas (ZIP codes sharing the same first 4 digits). Environmental hazards don't respect ZIP code boundaries, so knowing about nearby sites is still valuable for your awareness.
