Introduction - Ben Kiler

Hi there, I'm Ben.

I'm from Orange County, CA, where I spent roughly the first half of my life before moving to Temecula in 2010. I am a third year history major, and plan to get pursue a Master's or PhD depending on the career I decide to pursue.

The most fascinating part about history has always been how interactions across time and space have shaped our world. It is important not only to have knowledge of important historical events, but the events that prelude them, and the events that prelude these events. Environmental crises, racial divisions, and political strife are at the center stage of American politics, and I believe that we can come to a better understanding of these issues and how to resolve them by understanding how they came to be in the first place.

Environmental science has always been fascinating to me, especially given our species's track record of damaging nature over the last century and a half. I am excited to learn more about the issues affecting California and I hope I can use this knowledge to better educate others.

Stringfellow Acid Pits For those who live in the Inland Empire, the sight of a giant metal woolly mammoth looming over highway 60 is familiar. Dinosaurs and other extinct creatures adorn the hillside, serving as a teaching tool for school children. Many probably have memories from spent time at the Jurupa Cultural Center as kids, learning about Earth Science from founder, Ruth Kirkby. What is seemingly absent from cultural memory is the toxic waste that sits less than a mile away in the Stringfellow Acid Pits. The Acid Pits were once home to over 32 million gallons of toxic chemicals, dumped by numerous corporations and the United States military. The chemicals penetrated through the ground and into the water supply of thousands of residents. During multiple heavy rain events, the pits overflowed sending the waste into neighborhoods and the local elementary school. Residents recalled their children playing in the foaming waste, making beards and throwing snowballs.  Though now a...

 Introduction - David Biggs Welcome to HIST 197 - Environmental Problems in California. I'm David Biggs, your tour guide and professor. I have been a prof at UCR since 2004, and my research interests are environmental history with a special focus on Vietnam.

At UCR in the past, I've taught a Public Policy course focusing on local environmental history case studies, and that is where the research materials and case st...

Antonios Theodosis - Radium Craze in Los Angeles During the Early Twentieth Century

  Radium Craze in Los Angeles during the Early Twentieth Century  In the early twentieth century, a new buzz was quickly growing around Los Angeles with the discovery of an element that would glow in the dark and could be found naturally in the environment. The element in question was none other than radium, the eighty-eighth element in the periodic table was something fresh, hot, and exciting in all aspects of the early 1900s. As a result of this fresh excitement, the element could be found in numerous consumer products, medicinal practices, and in areas of congregation around the city of Los Angeles. Its exciting glow and mystery that surrounded it intrigued scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, and the general public in what can only be deemed as an era of the “radium craze.” This infatuation and mystery surrounding this radioactive element was not a good thing, however, because as noted, it was infused in everyday consumer products, in medicinal products, and procedures wh...
