Toxic Air
Location: nuevo ca
Description
Hello, I am writing to report about the bad air quality in Nuevo CA. It is a unique situation there. While I am sure that each industry is within their legal limits and up on their compliance, the topography and proximity of various industries is having a disasterous effect on the health of people living and working there. I work at a school (Nuview Bridge Early College High School) that sits east of agricultural fields that are routinely sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, west of oa fiberglass fabrication facility, and north of the Inland Empire Energy Center. Topigraphically, It is a bowl where air is trapped and all of these pollutants mix and match into who knows what depending on wind drift or lack thereof. We need an outdoor air quality monitor for the community at large.

Nuevo CA is located just south of Lake Perris and is outside of the area served by this web site. I emailed the person who submitted the report originally and provided contact information for AQMD.
