Several local researchers and health experts shared their concerns about the South Bay sewage crisis at a San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Board meeting on Thursday.“What's really frustrating is that this community is already burdened by a lot of pollution,” said Vi Nguyen, a pediatrician helping take care of more than 2,000 children in the South Bay .'We've definitely noticed something is wrong. Our asthma numbers are going up.

EPA will step in if appropriate agencies are not responding to the situation, or if assistance is requested.”At Thursday's meeting, the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Board received an update on the nearly 2,000 odor complaints they've received. They then approved and authorized an agreement with the County of San Diego to provide additional funding for air purifiers for affected families.
