New research reveals lead contamination from the Palisades and Eaton fires, but it’s far from simple—levels vary wildly by property, making home testing essential. While fires did release lead, pinpointing its source is tricky amid older paint and other urban factors. Good news: no widespread arsenic or mercury spikes were found. Coastal waters showed clear fire-linked chemical changes, but levels mostly returned to normal within months. Now, experts are rolling out exposure-reduction guidance and expanding testing beyond initial fire zones to protect communities.
