In a neighborhood long burdened by pollution and respiratory issues, this community-led effort reflects a fierce push for environmental justice.

With ongoing sampling for heavy metals and containment booms deployed, the residents’ actions spotlight a recurring truth: when official responses fall short, communities rise to protect their own health.
