Evacuation orders are in place in Orange County due to the potential release of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA).
Air quality officials set up multiple stationary and mobile air monitors and have not detected any contaminants in the air so far. Many people can smell MMA at very low levels, long before it reaches harmful amounts—so odor can be an early warning.
But remember, smell alone can’t tell you how much MMA is in the air.
The best thing you can do to keep you and your family safe is follow the evacuation orders in your area. Emergency shelters are open and available.
