A gift of sewage gas from Mexico

Toxic gas linked to cross-border sewage sparks public health scare in San Diego — but county rejects researchers' findings


Nearby schools suspend outdoor activities amid concerns.

San Diego State University and University of California San Diego researchers recently claimed that they have detected dangerously high levels of toxic gas in the Tijuana River Valley.

According to the researchers, they discovered high levels of hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide while conducting air-quality studies in the area, prompting them to temporarily abandon their work over safety concerns and issue a warning to the public. As a result, nearby schools within the South Bay School District have suspended outdoor activities out of "an abundance of caution," citing "heat and high levels of toxins in the air.
