California’s legacy of DDT waste: underwater dump site uncovers a toxic history Aaron Cantu in Los Angeles © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: David Valentine/AP The discovery of tens of thousands of underwater barrels containing what scientists believe to be chemical waste has raised alarm and reopened scrutiny into a history of toxic dumping that persisted off the California coast into the 1970s.

The barrels cover a seafloor area double the size of Manhattan off the coast of the Santa Catalina Island, near Los Angeles.
