KS / county disease rankings
Counties with the highest air toxics cancer risk in Kansas
Among 105 Kansas counties with published values, the counties with the highest air toxics cancer risk are Wyandotte County, KS (40, 1.33 times the U.S. county median of 30), Allen County, KS (30, 1 times the U.S. county median of 30) and Anderson County, KS (30, 1 times the U.S. county median of 30). Values are in a million (EPA AirToxScreen).
