The January fires left many scars in the city of Los Angeles, a reduced households to abandon abandoned vehicles. Although the immediate cleansing groups are removed by heavy waste, one impact on a law that stimulates the impact of a city, raise new research.
Toward the end of March – over two months after death – investigators receive levels of carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (Aka Chromim-6) 200 times with basic levels of LA AIR. If this dirt sounds normal, you may be thinking about 2000 film Erin BrockovichThe pull of a true story about water pollution of hexaValent’s chromium. Although investigating levels they get under certain safety levels, particles’ the unusual small size and raise concerns.
The study is currently available on the prime server Research Square, the author Michael Kleeeman, Environmental Developer at the University of California Davis, told Gizmoto. Although it is about to pass in legal peer review, he and his colleagues choose to remove the findings of the policies and the public in this hazardous defilement.

Activated the chromium poisoning
The chromium is a heavy harbor, plants and rocks, but also in some materials, including stainless steel, Chrome plum, colors and cement. In its normal form, the Chromium III is an important component that helps the body break fats and carbohydrates.
When oxidized, Chromium III becomes a toxic chromium. Other levels of the pollution may increase the risk of the empire, NASAL, and sinus cancer, according to workplace and health practices. The research has shown that the fire can call the oxidation of Chromium III, and 2023 studies have found that the Hexavallent Chromium can be in the wild and ashes.
Therefore, Kleemen and colleague expected to find a hexivalent Chromium when they were sample in the rubbish in the waste cleaning houses around Eaton and Palates. They get a focus from 8.1 to 21.6 Nanograms with cubic enemies in the most affected area: Altadena and Pacific Palikes. This is below the country’s safety center and the 200 Grobrics for the Air Cubic Meter but over EPA of 0.1 Nangram with a Cubic meter 0.1.
What they didn’t expect was the size of the Puny Pop. “It’s really surprising to find all Hexavalent’s chromium in La Fiber Debris and head cleaning areas focused on small particles,” Kleeeman said.
Small particles, a great accident
The main pollution of concerns for the Wildfire Support is PM2.5-hazardous micro-fat particles than 2,5 micrometers wide. Their size allow them to put them inside the lungs, they can make muscle damage and swelling. Hexavalent Chromium Nanoparticles Ukleemen and colleagues found by a minimum magnification order.
“Small nanoparticles than 50 nanometers can cross the cell membrane, meaning that he can deepen in our bodies than large particles,” he explained. “The nanoparticles can travel in our blood and reach all our great organs.” However, certain health risks from Chromium nanoparticles of HexaValent Chromium Nanoparticles are uncertain. “Current acquisition found, but not shock,” Kleememan said.
It arranges to return to Altadena and Pailories to find that the alien levels of chromium are not normal and identifies possible resources that may happen and the display of Hotspots. Understanding this is the threat to the newly important is more important than ever opening the world.
“California is found in the new fact that climate change drives fires in urban areas,” Kleeeman said. “We all need to work together to adapt.”
