The neighborhood, recently declared a national Superfund site by the EPA, is located around the Behr Dayton Thermal plant, 1600 Webster Street, which produces vehicle air conditioning and cooling systems. The area is plagued by the Behr VOC Plume, a cloud of underground toxic gases that has contaminated groundwater and released hazardous chemicals into the air.
The plume contains dangerously high levels of trichloroethylene (TCE), a toxic gas linked with cancer and other health problems.
