Opinion

STEIN, J.

Appellants are three of the several thousand plaintiffs 1 seeking relief for injuries resulting from the alleged airborne release of hazardous material stored at General Chemical Company (GCC) in Richmond, California. The present appeal is from the judgment of dismissal as to defendant and respondent Contra Costa County (the County) entered after the court sustained the County’s demurrer to appellants’ complaints without leave to amend, and from the court’s reaffirmation of that ruling after granting appellants’ motion for reconsideration. We will affirm.
