Източна Калифорния Източна Калифорния (на английски: Eastern California) не е точно определен термин, който в общи линии се отнася за земите на щата Калифорния в САЩ на изток от хребетите на планинската верига Сиера Невада или за най-източните окръзи на Калифорния, които са: - Модок - Ласън - Плумъс - Сиера - Невада - Плейсър - Ел Дорадо - Алпайн - Моно - Иньо - Сан Бернардино - Ривърсайд - Импириъл Климатът в Източна Калифорния е изключително сух и може да бъде определен като пустинен. В Източна Калифорния се намира най-горещата и ниска част на Северна Америка: Долината на смъртта, която съставя едноименния Национален парк. Източна Калифорния е с ниска гъстота на населението освен района на езерото Тахо.

The study found that many amphibole particles in the area meet the counting rule criteria used by the EPA for chemical and morphological limits, but do not meet morphological requirements for commercial-grade-asbestos. The executive summary pointed out that even particles that do not meet requirements for commercial-grade-asbestos may be a health threat and suggested a collaborative research effort to assess health risks associated with "Naturally Occurring Asbestos".[10] In 2003 after construction of the Oak Ridge High School (El Dorado Hills, CA) soccer field, the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry found that some student athletes, coaches and school workers received substantial exposures. The inside of Oak Ridge High School needed to be cleaned of dust.[9] [edit] See also - National Register of Historic Places listings in El Dorado County, California - Hiking trails in El Dorado County [edit] References - ^ "Chronology".
