Lalo on CALÓ: Smoke gets in your eyes, too
The Lineage Logistics warehouse fire has burned for six days, sending acrid, toxic smoke far beyond its immediate area and degrading air quality across Los Angeles County, the San Gabriel Valley, and the northwest San Bernardino Valley. Air monitors have reported conditions ranging from "unhealthy for sensitive groups" to "very unhealthy," with East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, and the San Gabriel Valley expected to remain affected. In response, Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency. The crisis also raises a difficult question: will stronger environmental justice protections finally be pursued now that pollution impacting working-class communities is also reaching wealthier neighborhoods?
