Water Contamination and Air Pollution

Ground water near Loma Linda is contaminated by a plume of the chemical perchlorate which was used in the manufacture of rocket fuel. The chemical was formerly (decades ago) prescribed by physicians to control overactive thyroid glands. Attempts to quantitate the effects of low-level exposure to perchlorate have met with resistance from environmental (and other) activists. A nearby plant operated by Lockheed has been accused of improperly disposing of the rocket fuel, which leached into the ground water northeast of Loma Linda. Loma Linda's municipal water supply is nevertheless unaffected by the plume, the extent of which is monitored regularly. The San Bernardino valley has some of the worst air quality in the United States, owing to prevailing westerly winds that blow Los Angeles', and especially, Orange County's, pollution into the area.

Crime Rate

In north Loma Linda, which is the border of Loma Linda and the city of San Bernardino, gangs are one of the biggest crime issues.^{[citation needed]} Problems with crime also exist near the Colton-Loma Linda border because a parolee release site is located there.^{[citation needed]} The majority of Loma Linda though is known to have a reputation for having a low crime rate.
