Properties cleaned up

There are 2 phases of cleanup:

  • Phase 1: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency clears household hazardous waste

Palisades fire area

Mobile monitoring survey #1 was completed on February 10, 2025.

Overall, results show no elevated levels of:

  • Air toxic metals including lead and arsenic
  • Volatile Organic Compounds including benzene

One elevated level of methane, possibly from a gas leak, was detected. This result was reported to utilities and public health agencies for further investigation.

Mobile monitoring survey #2 was completed on February 21, 2025, and results will be posted when analysis is complete.

How we are monitoring

mobile monitoring surveys completed in Eaton and Palisades areas
stationary air quality monitoring sites deployed for Eaton and Palisades areas
additional stationary air quality monitoring sites planned

Reported by South Coast Air Quality Management District

Monitoring occurs in two stages: mobile monitoring surveys and stationary monitoring.

  • Stage 1: Mobile monitoring surveys: These capture a snapshot in time of toxic metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This will help identify locations for stationary air quality monitoring sites. There were 4 mobile monitoring surveys: 2 in the Eaton Fire area and 2 in the Palisades Fire area.
  • Stage 2: Stationary air quality monitors: They measure pollutants in the air. This includes particulates (PM2.5 and PM10), lead, arsenic, other toxic metals, and asbestos.
