People in the South Bay have been complaining about a smelly odor in the air for years. Now, data from new monitors confirms their fears. "It smells like poop!" said Andres Caraveo who lives in Chula Vista. "We are used to this funky smell in the air in the South Bay." "It kind of just smells like there is trash above my head," said Ciara Lewis and Kayla Wilde, tourists visiting from Missouri. Just days after it was installed, a new air pollution control sensor behind a fire station in San Ysidro detected levels of hydrogen sulfide, one of the main chemical components of sewer gas. "The number that California has set as an odor threshold and as a number is .03 and we are seeing numbers at .04 and .05; so 1 and a half times the standard," said David Sodeman the Chief of the Monitoring Division at the Air Pollution Control District for San Diego County.
