Hundreds of toxic sites in California threatened by sea level rise due to climate change [View all]

Hundreds of toxic sites in California will be threatened as sea levels rise due to climate change, according to environmental health professors at UC Berkeley and UCLA.

The professors released a new project Tuesday called "Toxic Tides" that highlights the impact rising sea levels will have on California in the next 100 years.

More than three feet of sea level rise will occur by 2100 if nothing is done about climate change, according to the project.

The rise in sea levels would threaten 400 hazardous facilities and 2,100 homes in California.
