OK / county disease rankings
Counties with the highest air toxics cancer risk in Oklahoma
Among 77 Oklahoma counties with published values, the counties with the highest air toxics cancer risk are Adair County, OK (30, 1 times the U.S. county median of 30), Alfalfa County, OK (30, 1 times the U.S. county median of 30) and Atoka County, OK (30, 1 times the U.S. county median of 30). Values are in a million (EPA AirToxScreen).
