DumpRadar maps science-based risk zones for landfills and waste sites across the United States — air dispersion, groundwater plumes, PFAS in drinking water, and community vulnerability — assembled from 17 free government data sources.
Existing tools show pins on a map or raw compliance records. DumpRadar turns 17 federal datasets into a single, readable risk picture for your address.
Red, Orange, Yellow and Green zones grounded in 40+ peer-reviewed studies — and resized by each facility's risk score.
UCMR5 results for public water systems near each landfill, compared directly to the 4 ng/L EPA limit.
TRI + RCRA cross-reference reveals which specific industrial chemicals a facility actually received.
GHGRP-reported methane (not a "gas system: yes/no" guess) — the most direct measure of escaping landfill gas.
NOAA wind data makes zones asymmetric — because the downwind community faces 3–5× the exposure.
Census demographics surface the sensitive and overburdened populations EJScreen used to highlight.
Research across 30+ studies establishes distinct exposure bands. DumpRadar makes them concrete — and resizes each one using a 16-factor Environmental Impact Score, then warps them with prevailing wind.
How the zones work →Acute respiratory symptoms, H₂S, groundwater leachate, basement gas migration.
Air dispersion, particulate matter, episodic odor, plume migration.
Cumulative long-term exposure and legacy groundwater contamination.
No statistically significant elevation attributable to a single site.
