    Valla Rail Yard:

    The Valla Rail Yard in California was established in the early 1950s as a pivotal hub for freight transportation in the region. Over the decades, it has expanded significantly to accommodate the growing demands of rail traffic. Currently, the yard employs approximately 250 workers who manage and operate the yard’s daily activities. On average, the Valla Rail Yard sees around 50 trains passing through each day, making it one of the busier rail yards in the state.

    Workers at the Valla Rail Yard are exposed to various toxins, including diesel exhaust, asbestos, and chemical solvents. Diesel exhaust, in particular, is a significant concern as it contains harmful pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Prolonged exposure to these toxins can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and an increased risk of lung cancer. Asbestos, if disturbed, can cause severe lung conditions such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. The chemical solvents used in maintenance and repair operations pose risks of skin irritation, organ damage, and long-term neurological effects if proper safety measures are not followed. Ensuring adequate ventilation, using personal protective equipment (PPE), and adhering to safety protocols are crucial to mitigating these health risks for the workers.
