Cumulative impacts from environmental pollution weigh heavily on environmental justice communities. Such impacts represent the reality of living in over-burdened areas where socio-economic, environmental and health factors combine to create deleterious effects on the most vulnerable populations. In the communities of Commerce and South East LA, people are exposed to various sources of pollution such as freeways, railyards, major arterials, chemical, polymer, and pesticide manufacturing, chemical consolidation, trash-to-energy, lead-acid battery production and recycling, and other toxic polluting facilities. Their cumulative effects on the environment and on the people exposed to them on a daily basis is of major concern.
