State orders cleanup at polluted South L.A. location

California regulators have ordered a cleanup of a contaminated hazardous waste site in Los Angeles's Central-Alameda neighborhood, where decades-old chemicals, including carcinogenic solvents like perchloroethylene, were found deep in the soil. The site, operated by a now-closed company for over 38 years, is located near homes and a public park, raising health concerns about vapor intrusion. Although testing was last conducted 25 years ago, recent assessments suggest the contamination may pose a substantial hazard, and cleanup efforts are expected to be costly and lengthy.
