Four California Schools Named EPA Priority for Monitoring Toxic Outdoor Air Pollution
62 schools in 28 states selected in national initiative
SAN FRANCISCO – In an unprecedented effort to help protect children from toxic air pollution
around schools, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced that four California schools will
be among the schools that will undergo outdoor air monitoring.
The four Calif. schools are Felton Elementary in Lennox, Santa Anita Christian Academy in El
Monte, Soto Street Elementary in Los Angeles and Stevens Creek Elementary in Cupertino.
“As a mother, I understand that concerned parents deserve this information as quickly as we can
gather and analyze it,” said EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. “EPA, state, and local officials are
mobilizing to determine where elevated levels of toxics pose a threat, so that we can take swift
action to protect our children at their schools.”
EPA, state and local agencies will work together to monitor air toxics around 62 schools in 22 states
that are located near large industrial facilities or in urban areas. EPA identified these schools
for monitoring based on information that raised questions about air quality. That information
included the best data available to EPA scientists about air pollution in the vicinity of schools,
results of a computer modeling analysis, results from a recent newspaper analysis, and
information from state and local air agencies.
Depending on the availability of staff and equipment, monitoring at some schools on the list will
begin almost immediately; other schools will begin monitoring over the next 60 to 90 days.
State and local air agencies will install and operate the monitors, while EPA will purchase the
monitors and pay for laboratory analysis.
State and local agencies will take periodic samples of the air around the schools for a 60 day period.
EPA will analyze the results of the monitoring and share the information with the schools and
the public. EPA will use the information gathered in this initiative to determine how best to
move forward which could require additional monitoring or enforcement action where
appropriate.
EPA and states will work with school communities to ensure they understand the monitoring
results. In addition to monitoring the outdoor air quality, EPA also will help interested schools
improve the quality of their indoor air.

SCHOOL MERCURY SPILL
 Classes Resume at Calexico High School Following Mercury Spill/ Public Health Officials
Declare it Safe for Campus Operations to Resume
 SAN FRANCISCO – Following a temporary school closure, students at Calexico High School returned to
campus today after Imperial County public health officials declared it was safe.
 Emergency responders from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California’s Department of Toxic
Substances Control, and the Imperial County Public Health Department have been working together to
investigate and assess mercury exposure that may have resulted from a January 29 mercury spill at Calexico
High School in Calexico, California.
 Emergency responders surveyed the entire campus yesterday and found 12 rooms with elevated detection
readings for mercury. Mercury was also found outside of the classrooms in three quad/transition areas.
These areas will be fenced off and dusting sulfur has been applied to stabilize the material.
 An ‘action level’ is an indoor air concentration of mercury vapor which prompts a response by public health
and environmental officials. The EPA’s action level for mercury is 1,000 parts per trillion. Hazardous waste
experts have found readings on campus above the EPA’s action level, and are taking steps to protect the
public.
 During the ongoing investigation, federal, state and local officials will continue to work together with the
Imperial County Public Health Department and school officials to ensure that students and faculty are
protected. Air monitoring is being done to ensure that people are not exposed to traces of mercury vapor.
An in-depth investigation of the site will determine whether the mercury contamination was limited to those
in the immediate vicinity of the campus. The EPA, DTSC and a private contractor are conducting air
monitoring at the campus and also at 20 – 40 residences.
