Should You Be Concerned About SCHROCK/WCI?

SCHROCK/WCIis registered in the EPA's Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). This means the facility reports handling, releasing, or transferring toxic chemicals as part of its operations. However, the overall environmental safety score for this area is 70/100 — indicating that despite the presence of this facility, the surrounding environment remains relatively healthy.

Water quality in zip code 61938 is good (74/100), suggesting that despite the TRI facility, drinking water hasn't been significantly impacted.

This zip code has 11 total TRI facilities, which is a high concentration that compounds environmental health risks — each facility contributes pollutants that may interact in ways individual facility data doesn't capture. Areas with multiple TRI sites tend to have higher rates of respiratory issues and environmental sensitivity, according to EPA research.

What you can do: Check your home's water quality with an annual test kit, monitor local air quality alerts, and review the full Illinois pollution report for broader context. WHITE CONSOLIDATED IND operates this facility — check if they have a public environmental responsibility report.

Health Considerations for Residents Near SCHROCK/WCI

Living near a Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facility in MATTOON, Illinois (61938) 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 61938 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 SCHROCK/WCI, report them to Illinois'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.
