Afton, IA
Contamination score
Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.
Afton is a small town in Union County in southwestern Iowa's row-crop farming belt. No EPA or Iowa DNR violations, lawsuits, or contamination incidents specific to Afton were found. Iowa's agricultural regions are among the most well-documented in the country for nitrate and pesticide runoff into groundwater and rivers (the subject of the high-profile Des Moines Water Works litigation), so a modestly elevated baseline risk is assigned even though no local exceedance is documented.
