Multiple sites became contaminated with paint waste that contained radium-226, an element used in making aircraft dials glow in the dark.

“The Navy has made significant progress cleaning up environmental contamination at the former Naval Air Station Alameda,” said Cecily Sabedra, Environmental Coordinator for the Navy. “The environmental program is mature, with only one cleanup decision plan remaining. The public will have an opportunity to comment on this plan in spring 2018.”
