Remove Toxic Gases And Odors With Oransi’s Activated Carbon Air Purifiers
Issues have been raised in September 2024 in Imperial Beach, California from residents who live by the pollution existing in the Tijuana River. This southern San Diego city reports strong odors smelling like rotten eggs and acute illnesses including wheezing, a persistent cough, nausea, and headaches.
Researchers are trying to prove a correlation between the river pollution and these illnesses by proving the dangerous bacteria in the water is becoming aerosolized, polluting the air, and making people sick. There is a possible explanation in the high presence of hydrogen sulfide one researcher found, which can cause acute illnesses like the ones being experienced by residents who live in the southern San Diego area.
In October 2021, a similar situation happened in the Dominguez Channel where they suffered strong odors and hydrogen sulfide that affected the air quality in the Los Angeles area. This situation caused stress, uncertainty, and health symptoms like respiratory issues and headaches in residents.
The toxic gas hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound also known as hydrosulfuric acid and sewer gas. The compound can be smelled at low levels and affect people causing headaches and nausea.
What Residents Can Do:
Residents can take action to keep themselves and their families safe. The easiest and most effective suggestion has been to purchase an air purifier with carbon filtration that targets volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy odors, and toxic gases.
The Los Angeles Daily News reported that “health officials urged residents to keep their doors and windows closed to prevent the stench from entering homes, and consider replacing air filters with stronger, activated-carbon filters to help clean the indoor air" during the Dominguez Channel crisis.
Air filtration and purification are extremely important in these situations. The proper air purifiers can help alleviate symptoms, odors, and the toxic gas itself from your home or other indoor living spaces.
