After facing pressure from north Irvine residents and a group of UC Irvine advisors, the city has hired a contractor to investigate whether an asphalt factory is spewing out toxic fumes.
For months, residents have been contacting the city and regional air regulators to force All American Asphalt to cease production and relocate. They say they have felt like their voices are falling on deaf ears.
The community group, Non-Toxic Neighborhoods, has been leading the effort through organizing residents, stationing lawn signs throughout the city and partnering with UC Irvine professors. More than 2,100 people have signed an online petition.
