Counts are records within a mile of the point, from the same sources; they overlap and are not unique facilities.

Why this may matter, and what to check

A source is not an exposure measurement. Health effects depend on the chemical or physical agent, whether it reaches a person, its concentration, exposure route, duration and individual susceptibility.

Why this may matter

Landfill gas, odors and leachate are potential concerns. Methane is flammable when it accumulates; the relevance of other gases or groundwater contamination depends on site conditions and exposure. Closed sites may still require monitoring.

How it could reach a home

Potential pathways include air, gas migration and groundwater. Neither an odor nor a mapped landfill alone establishes a harmful dose at a home.

What remains unknown

  • Current gas/leachate control performance
  • Whether a contamination plume reaches the property or water supply
  • Current closure and land-use restrictions

What to check next

  • Environmental regulator — Request groundwater and gas monitoring, closure plans and any off-site migration findings.
  • Water supplier / well professional — Confirm the drinking-water source and whether site-related contaminants have been tested.
  • Seller / inspector — Ask about recorded land-use restrictions and any environmental reports for the parcel.
