Air-quality monitoring underestimates toxic emissions to Salton Sea communities, study finds
A newly published study finds that California's Salton Sea emits hydrogen sulfide, a toxic and foul-smelling gas, at rates that regularly exceed the state's air quality standards. The presence of these emissions in communities surrounding the Salton Sea is "vastly underestimated" by government air-quality monitoring systems, the researchers found.
