MMA Leak Cleanup at GKN Aerospace | Venice Beach News

A major cleanup is underway at GKN Aerospace’s Garden Grove plant after a toxic MMA leak triggered a massive evacuation of 40,000 residents during Memorial Day weekend. The flammable chemical, known for its fruity smell, posed explosion risks until a tank crack relieved pressure. Crews are now removing neutralized MMA using temperature-controlled containers, monitored daily with wind-sensitive operations. Authorities including Orange County Health Agency and South Coast AQMD are overseeing the effort, with real-time air quality updates available online.
