TOXIC AIR AROUND SCHOOLS IS DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN. NEW REPORT FINDS WHICH CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS ARE HIGH RISK.

A government emissions report has been analyzed by USA Today in an effort to find which schools are located in areas with toxic air. Poor air quality is a danger to anyone who lives in it. Areas around factories, chemical plants and other industrial waste sites are generally more toxic, and they are no place for schools. Still, the analysis found many schools are in close proximity to such toxicity. The air quality at these schools poses a grave risk to the students who grow up attending them. High chemical concentrations exist in the air around hundreds of schools, including those in Oro Grande, CA. Cancer and other health risks may result from exposure to such high toxic levels of an extended period of time. If you believe that you or a loved one has become ill or died after exposure to dangerous emissions in California, please get free advice from a lawyer at 1-800-ALAWPRO.

Industrial pollution such as that from factories, chemical plants, plastics plants and refineries, release toxins like metals and carcinogens into the air. At one school, the chemical levels of pollution led to a shut down when the Environmental Protection Agency showed people were 50 more likely to get cancer there. Unfortunately, many schools are close to such dangers, and children are at a higher risk for illness from exposure that adults. Cancer is just one of the potential outcomes. Some of the California schools with the worst air quality include those in Oro Grande, Vista and San Ramon.
