NLM Toxicology and Environmental Health Info

Officials are trying to confirm whether Texas floodwaters have spread contamination from toxic waste sites, as water recedes and residents return to homes that, in some cases, were flooded with water that passed over these known contaminated areas.

The Environmental Protection Agency says 13 Superfund sites were flooded and potentially damaged by Hurricane Harvey.
