We know that the Palisades and Eaton Fires left devastation in their wake, devastation that wasn’t just burned structures and displaced lives, but dangerous contaminants that remained in our soil and groundwater. How far-reaching was the contamination, and how concerned do residents need to be? Thanks to the University of Southern California’s CLEAN Project, there is now a way for anyone living in Los Angeles County to get answers to those questions. And the help is free! This week, host Cameron Barrett found out about the testing and resources the CLEAN Project is providing residents when she sat down with Dr. Seth John of the Department of Earth Sciences at USC, and Sujeet Rao, the Director of Health and Well-being at USC’s Dornsife Public Exchange.
