Whittier, California
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Whittier residents face a critical safety risk due to high concentrations of nearby hazardous waste sites. The Die Casting ID Corp is the primary active Superfund site threatening your area. Because the contaminants are unspecified hazardous substances, they can enter your air, water, and soil without warning. Living near nineteen industrial waste zones means routine activities like gardening or playing outside could expose you to hidden toxins. High hazard scores indicate these materials may cause long-term health problems if ignored.
Action Required
Residents must contact local organizations to address environmental health and housing concerns. Reach out to 3Greenassistance or the California Cool Cities Initiative for information on local environmental advocacy and safety programs. If you are concerned about property safety or relocation assistance, contact the West Angeles Community Development Corp at 323-751-3440. Alternatively, the NHS of Orange County, doing business as NeighborWorks Orange County, provides guidance at 714-490-1250. These agencies help navigate the complexities of living in a high-risk industrial zone. Immediate action is required to ensure your living environment remains safe and compliant with health standards.
