Like Coalinga, the California city of El Dorado Hills contains immense amounts of asbestos deposits. In a 2006 report, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stated that asbestos was so prevalent that simple outdoor activities, such as riding a bicycle, raised dust with high concentrations of asbestos. Air samples taken after activities …Web
