have been dealing with foul odors for years because of the sewage from across the border. Now, the heat is making it so bad that a group of researchers measuring air quality in the area had to leave.
Closer to the Tijuana riverbed, the air is foul with the pungent odor of hydrogen sulfide. It’s a toxic gas and can be extremely hazardous. And high temperatures the last few days have made conditions unbearable. Prather leads the air quality testing. The group of 50 members was in the third week of a five-week test when the level of toxins spiked.
Raw sewage from Mexico has closed the water off Imperial Beach for more than 1,000 consecutive days. U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla announced renewed efforts to put one agency in charge. NBC 7's Joe Little has the details."I wish we would stop calling it a bad smell, a foul odor, a nuisance smell. These are the words our medical directors have referred to it as. No, these are poisonous gasses,“ Harrison said.
