Children attending schools in San Pedro and Wilmington may soon breathe a little easier under a $6 million plan tentatively approved Wednesday by a Los Angeles City Council committee. At least 50 private and public schools will be fitted with air filters over the next five years to protect students from pollution spewed at the Port of Los Angeles. The project is part of a community improvement plan that allows port officials to move ahead with the massive TraPac terminal expansion project.
The full City Council is expected later this month to consider the air filter installation project.
