Asbestos is a fibrous mineral naturally occurring in ultramafic rock (a rock type commonly found in California ), and used as a processed component of building materials. Due to the fact that asbestos has been proven to cause a number of disabling and fatal diseases, such as asbestosis and lung cancer, it is strictly regulated based either on its natural widespread occurrence, or in its use as a building material.

Information on Incident Reports

Occasionally, a facility will have a significant accidental release of air contaminants, or an air pollution event will occur within the District, in which the District believes there is a general public interest. As soon as sufficient information is available, District staff will prepare a preliminary incident report. These reports are intended to provide an early overview to the incident, and do not substitute for the in-depth investigation which ultimately follows. The following incident reports are listed in chronological order for the last year.
