Los Angeles wildfires led to concerns of lead contamination among residents near the burn scar. Soil samples revealed high levels of lead outside the fire boundary
Homeowners may be responsible for soil remediation costs. Lead exposure can cause neurotoxicity and organ damage, especially in children.

Discrimination has made it harder for Black people in the Los Angeles area to buy and keep their homes.
It has also made them more vulnerable to wildfires, as seen when Altadena burned.

ABC’s FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT takes an in-depth look at LA fire recovery
“It is not all replaceable,” says Jenny Yip, PsyD, after losing everything in the Palisades fire. She’s rebuilding, but the process isn’t easy.
Here’s how she’s coping.

“You really want to know: ‘What’s in the air, what’s in the water, what’s in the ash that blew into my kitchen cabinet? Do I let my dog outside?’” she said. “All these questions were coming up and we thought, ‘We really need to serve the community.’” Indeed, while the initial findings will be focused on firefighters’ exposure, the team is also looking into residents’ exposure to heavy metals and chemicals.

6,000 homes were destroyed in Altadena, L.A. County, by the recent wildfires. In many cases, all that remains standing is the chimney and fireplace — often covered in tiles designed by artist Ernest Batchelder. @Dwell writes about a grassroots movement to salvage some of those tiles — and the history of the storied neighborhood. "Whether you’re grieving a person or, in this case, a house filled with memories, it helps to have something that you can physically hang on to," says Brenda Davidge. "Having the tile helps us with moving forward because while we know the house and everything that was in it is gone, the tiles are a physical reminder that the fire didn’t take everything, that these things have lasted a hundred-plus years and made it through that crazy fire so they can keep going beyond that too."
Wow. So sad, especially after all the awful #LAFires.
Lots of prayers for everyone impacted. 🙏🏻
