- Reporter's Notebook: Hexavalent Chromium Threatens San Fernando Valley Aquifers
Erin Brockovich told the story of hexavalent chromium in the water supply in Hinkely, northeast of Palmdale. A known carcinogen when it-s inhaled as dust, nobody knows what happens to those who drink Chromium-6. Last year, when the veteran water-master warned of a -clear and present danger- from Chromium-6 surrounding San Fernando Valley water wells, the Legislature ordered a study, but it-s never been done. Chip Jacobs co-wrote a story about the issue for the current City Beat magazine.
