The area's environmental safety score is 61/100 — moderate, suggesting some cumulative environmental burden from industrial activity in the area.
Water quality in zip code 50801 is good (74/100), suggesting that despite the TRI facility, drinking water hasn't been significantly impacted.

Health Considerations for Residents Near CENTRAL IOWA READY MIX
Living near a Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facility in CRESTON, Iowa (50801) means potential exposure to industrial pollutants through air, water, and soil. While not every facility creates immediate health risks, long-term proximity warrants awareness and proactive steps.
Water Testing
Even with acceptable municipal water scores, homes near industrial sites should test annually for contaminants that may leach through groundwater. This is especially important for homes built before 1990 or those on well water in the 50801 area. Testing kits are available through your county health department or certified labs.
Air Quality Monitoring
Monitor daily AQI (Air Quality Index) at airnow.gov, particularly on hot, stagnant days when ground-level pollutants concentrate. If you notice unusual odors or visible emissions from CENTRAL IOWA READY MIX, report them to Iowa's environmental agency.
When to Consult a Doctor
Speak with your physician if you experience persistent respiratory symptoms (chronic cough, wheezing, shortness of breath), unexplained headaches, skin irritation, or unusual fatigue — particularly if these worsen when you're at home. Mention your proximity to a TRI facility so they can order appropriate screening. Vulnerable populations — children, elderly, pregnant women, and those with asthma — should be especially vigilant.
