ABC News interviewed Dr. Lara Cushing, associate professor in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health Sciences, about her research that found sea level rise caused by climate change could cause thousands of toxic sites in the U.S. to flood in the coming decades.
"The implications of our research suggests that this issue needs more attention, both in terms of mitigation plans and emergency preparedness and also things like cleanup plans and standards for legacy contamination," Cushing said.
