Did you receive any warning in the past 50 years that hazardous substances from the Cal Compact site had entered the environment? Anyone warn you to close your windows or drink bottled water? No, here in Carson instead of telling us what horrific diseases they have subjected us to they tell us a new mall or football team is coming. Time and time again after years of moving, digging, and covering up the contamination, they have exposed us to a life of suffering.
Benzene is one of the most dangerous contaminants we have been exposed to. It wouldn’t have been so bad if they didn’t disturb the contaminated land by digging, drilling, and pounding piles in more than 60 feet, all that can release gases such a benzine. A lot has been done but not enough, and the evidence of that is we have people suffering every day with symptoms and illnesses. For many unless you know what you have been exposed to or your symptoms have turned into a full blown disease it can take your doctor years to diagnosed. We have Carson residents that have passed away just weeks of being diagnosed with cancer, and others that have spent 10 years battling cancer, managed to get it into remission only to have it reoccur.
The people representing the State of California, Los Angeles County, the corporations, and the City of Carson have decided to make our generation pay the price of getting a mall built on that contaminated land. They decided to go ahead with building on contaminated land without taking on the expense of protecting the people in the surrounding communities.
We’ve identified some of the toxins released into the soil, air and/or groundwater. We’ve also identified some symptoms associated with these toxins such as difficulty breathing, elevated heart rate, chest pain, anxiety, fatigue, dizziness, impaired short term memory, inability to concentrate, and skin irritation and illnesses such as Autism, Breast Cancer, Lymphoma, Cardiac Arrhythmia, Spontaneous Abortions, Tinnitus and many more.
Take a look at the survey and see if you have any of the many symptoms and/or illnesses.
