Public Health Announces New Study to Assess Oil Related Health Impacts in Inglewood Oil Field Communities

Public Health Announces New Study to Assess Oil Related Health Impacts in Inglewood Oil Field Communities

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) is announcing a second Health Assessment and Environmental Justice Study for the Inglewood Oil Field communities. The assessment will be led by a research team from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), who will develop and implement the two-pronged assessment taking into consideration residential distance from oil fields to better understand the impact of oil field operations on community health.

The assessment protocols and materials will be developed in conjunction with Public Health and will be reviewed by a Community Advisory Board. Findings of the assessment will be summarized in a final report to be made available to the public upon completion.

“After decades of oil drilling, the negative health impacts on nearby residents, who are disproportionately Black and Brown, must be fully examined, and I applaud this important partnership between LA County Department of Public Health and UCLA,” said Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, whose district includes the communities of Baldwin Hills, View Park/Windsor Hills, Ladera Heights, and Culver City. “The oil drilling in Baldwin Hills is an issue of health equity and environmental justice that acutely impacts the Black community. The full spectrum of oil drilling-related health impacts on vulnerable communities have been neglected for far too long. I look forward to seeing the results of this study and continuing to improve the health and livability of the neighborhoods in my district.”

“This complex assessment and analysis requires a very specific expertise, which the UCLA team brings to the table,” said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH. “Public Health looks forward to sharing this information to inform efforts to reduce negative health outcomes for the residents in these nearby communities, including higher rates of infant mortality, asthma and cancer.”

The communities surrounding the Inglewood Oil Field, including Baldwin Hills, Ladera Heights, and View Park/Windsor Hills, are among the most affluent Black communities in America, with high median education and employment levels. Nevertheless, residents in these predominantly Black communities suffer disproportionately from the effects of disparate standards and lax regulatory controls on polluting industries. Health and safety mitigation measures at existing oil production sites vary, with some facilities, such as those in Beverly Hills, being subject to stricter design and mitigation measures imposed by state and local regulatory agencies. However, many others have not been required to conduct health risk assessments or other environmental studies. This new assessment seeks to close the data gap and support better long-term health outcomes for residents in the adjacent communities.

There are 675 active wells in the Inglewood Oil Field, which is adjacent to schools, homes, hospitals, parks, and faith institutions. Located in the Greater Baldwin Hills and Culver City areas, the Inglewood Oil Field is the largest urban oil field in the nation. Over one million people live within five miles of its boundaries, most of whom are Black and Latinx.

Public Health released Work Order Solicitation Number EVAL-WOS-34 on February 4, 2021 for the Baldwin Hills Health Assessment and Environmental Justice Study.  Work will begin immediately and is expected to take 12 to 18 months to complete.

Public Health to Host Virtual Town Hall for June 15 Reopening; Mobile Vaccination Sites Increase in L.A. County

Public Health to Host Virtual Town Hall for June 15 Reopening; Mobile Vaccination Sites Increase in L.A. County
3 New Deaths and 134 New Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed 3 new deaths and 134 new cases of COVID-19.  The number of cases and deaths may reflect reporting delays over the weekend. Of the three new deaths reported today, one person that passed away was over the age of 80, one person who died was between the ages of 65 and 79, and one person who died was between the ages of 50 and 64.

To date, Public Health identified 1,245,253 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County and a total of 24,392 deaths. There are 255 people with COVID-19 currently hospitalized. Testing results are available for nearly 6,830,000 individuals with 17% of people testing positive. Today’s daily test positivity rate is 0.3%.  Case numbers and other metrics continue to remain low and stable.

Public Health will host a Virtual Town Hall on Reopening on Thursday, June 10, at 6:00 p.m. Join the town hall to get the latest updates on the June 15 reopening of Los Angeles County. The town hall will be streamed live on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube @lapublichealth. For more information and to submit a question, visit: tinyurl.com/AskReopeningTownHall.

As California reopens and physical distancing requirements and capacity limits for customers are lifted on June 15, protecting L.A County workers will be a top priority especially those communities that were hardest hit during the worst of the pandemic. Last week, the Cal/OSHA standards board recommended relaxing physical distancing and masking requirements for fully vaccinated workers, and other adjustments to align with the June 15 reopening. If the COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards are approved by the Office of Administrative Law, the standards are expected to go into effect no later than June 15.

The most powerful step to take to prevent COVID-19 infection, is getting vaccinated. As of June 4, more than 9,619,204 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to people across Los Angeles County. Of these, 5,501,512 were first doses and 4,117,512 were second doses. More than 4.5 million or 54% L.A. County residents 16 and over are fully vaccinated.  Sixty-five percent have received one dose of the vaccine.
