for some time could linger for at least another week, officials said.
Recent air monitoring data from the county's Hazardous Materials Program show concentrations of the chemical that can cause headaches, nausea and irritated eyes over long periods. Inframark said in a statement Wednesday it will complete cleaning of more than 1,300 air diffusers in one of three wastewater treatment reactors by the end of Wednesday.

Inframark is also upgrading the blowers that supply oxygen to the diffusers with new, larger motors to add reliability and further increase aeration.
