Bassett Avocado Heights Community Air Quality Report
Area Overview

Community risk: air pollution exposure presents a risk to all of us

Aclima uses climate and economic justice indicators to identify sensitive, under-served, overburdened, and at-risk populations. This map illustrates areas where sensitive populations live based on a calculated index that includes asthma prevalence, cardiovascular disease prevalence, population under age 5, population over age 64, and low birthweight infants. Within BAAEC, areas in Bassett and to the north of Valley Boulevard and east of the I-605 are primarily commercial. Near Avocado Heights, but outside of the BAAEC boundary, areas to the east and south are primarily commercial and manufacturing. Puente Hills Landfill and the Quemetco Battery Recycling Center are to the southeast of BAAEC and were not included in the measurement area, so their impacts are not fully measured. Three freeways create a perimeter around three sides of BAAEC, to the north (I-10), west (I-605, and south (SR-60). During the study period, fairly persistent winds were from the south and southwest, which may subject sensitive residents downwind of these emissions sources to increased levels of pollution.
