Global Community Monitor is an environmental justice and human rights non-profit organization. http://www.gcmonitor.org

 

In 2007 & 2008 Global Community Monitor worked in partnership with the local community groups, Berkeley Air Monitors (BAM) and the West Oakland Air Monitors, to  conducted air sampling near Pacific Steel Casting in West Berkeley and Custom Alloy Scrap Sales in West Oakland. During this period, air-sampling results at both locations showed elevated levels of heavy metals that are associated with the industrial processes of each facility.
