PXP FACTS: Potentially hazardous oil field gases in your back yard. Issues to consider if you live in and around Baldwin Hills.

HYDROGEN SULFIDE GAS (H2S) smells like rotten eggs.

Exposure can be life threatening. Even very small amounts, long term, can damage your brain and nervous system permanently. Children and the elderly are at higher risk.

See GrassrootsCoalition.Org Reference Materials * Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Dr. Kaye Kilburn

DANGEROUS BTEX GASES ARE CALIFORNIA PROP 65 OIL FIELD GASES.

Small amounts of (BTEX) benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene can cause cancer, birth defects, lung disease and chronic asthma.

See GrassrootsCoalition.Org Reference Materials ** Hazardous Substances Research Center BTEX Gases

PXP INJECTS huge amounts of liquid into the Baldwin Hills oil field.

Cracks in your foundation, walls and swimming pool may be a result of earth movement caused by this practice. According to *experts, oil field operations caused the Baldwin Hills Dam collapse in 1963,which killed 5 people, destroyed 277 homes and caused $12 Million in property damage.

PXP INGLEWOOD HAS PLANS to add 24-53 wells every year for 20 years.

How many old leaking abandoned oil wells are in the PXP Inglewood oil field? We don’t

know. We should know. *Experts proved that a leaking well in the Fairfax area caused the

1985 Ross Dress for Less’ explosion and fires, injuring 23 people. See GrassrootsCoalition.Org Reference Materials **** Environmental Hazards - Bernard Endres and G V Chilingar
