Toxic Homes Haunt Wildfire Survivors
Update: 2026-01-05
Description
One year after the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, survivors face hidden dangers in their homes, as toxic ash from lead, asbestos, heavy metals, and cancer-causing chemicals linger. Workers in hazmat suits clean homes, but many still test high for lead, leaving residents, especially children and pregnant people, at risk. A report found six out of ten cleaned homes still held risky asbestos or lead, with sixty-three percent exceeding EPA limits. Insurance battles and mental health struggles add to the challenges, as rebuilding and sorting through tainted belongings stretches years ahead. Checkout Solipillow.com
