GoKawiilTesla's Fremont plant seeks permit for 13-fold rise in toxic particulate emissions near school
According to SFGate reporting, Tesla's Fremont, California factory has applied to the Bay Area Air District for permits that would allow a thirteenfold increase in total suspended particulate emissions, including toxic metals like arsenic, beryllium and cadmium. The plant sits next to Lila Bringhurst Elementary School, and parents say they learned the details mainly through an anonymous Substack post rather than a clear notice from regulators, after an official memo used vague terms like 'modify' and 'abatement.'
