Los residentes del Este del Valle de Coachella, en su mayoria familias de trabajadores latinos, enfretan una seria de problemas de salud relacionados al ambiente, incluyendo los polvos provenientes de las areas de lago Salton Sea, que se ha secado.
The future of the Salton Sea looms large over the Eastern Coachella Valley. As the lake dries up, accumulated agricultural runoff is exposed, threatening to become airborne in foul clouds of toxic dust. Already, communities near the Salton Sea face higher rates of pulmonary diseases such as asthma, especially among children.
