“In response to initial dismissal of resident concerns about soil lead, residents
commissioned a comprehensive assessment of soil lead levels, inviting a small team
of faculty, staff, and students from UC Irvine to collaborate in developing and implementing
this study. Our team sampled more than 500 locations throughout Santa Ana and included
every Census tract in this 2020 study.”
