Not far from UCI, some of the nation\u2019s unhealthiest air blankets neighborhoods. One of the world\u2019s busiest international airports, shipping ports in Long Beach and Los Angeles and their associated diesel truck traffic, industrial sites and oil refineries contribute to pollution not just in the air, but in the soil and water, as well.
