Post-Remediation Contamination Map
Click on homes that survived the Eaton Fire to see peak levels of indoor contamination found by professional industrial hygienist testing after remediation/cleanup.
P = Professional remediation was performed before testing.
S = Self clean up was performed by residents before testing.
Color coding = the lead levels (ug/ft²) found after remediation/cleanup.
What Does This Mean?
Residents are finding that their homes are still contaminated, even after professional remediation. These contaminants pose serious health risks, especially with prolonged exposure. These results highlight the need for thorough professional remediation and continued testing to verify that a home is safe to inhabit.
Of the 28 standing homes that were tested for LEAD, 90% still tested positive.
Additional remediation was recommended in all cases.
In response to the Eaton fire, EFRU, a volunteer-led coalition of local residents, is gathering data from homeowners and renters who’ve had professionals test their living spaces for contamination. This anonymized, regularly updated map helps illustrate potential health risks across the area. It’s not a substitute for professional testing, but a tool to raise awareness and encourage others to test their homes and businesses.
The map above focuses on interiors of standing structures (homes and garages). Each pin is placed at the nearest cross-street and color-coded based on peak lead levels detected inside. Clicking a pin reveals more detail, including additional contaminants and their peak levels, depending on how much testing the resident could afford.
