Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Residents in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, Calif. have encountered a powerful smell coming from the Dominguez Channel, making some ill.
Carson Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes said in a Facebook post Sunday that organic waste material drying out after being exposed during low tide was the likely culprit. She said an earlier report of a pipeline leak has been ruled out.
"While the foul odor is believed to be hydrogen sulfide, [the South Coast Air Quality Management District] and the [Los Angeles] County Hazmat team do not believe the odors will cause health impacts beyond nausea and other nuisance type effects," Davis-Holmes said.
"The city of Carson does not control or maintain the Dominguez Channel. The lead agencies that are working together to solve this problem are AQMD, L.A. County Public Works and Health Department. Our L.A. County Supervisor Holly Mitchell is addressing our concerns and will be providing updates to me as more information becomes available."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - A roadway was closed in Colorado Springs on Monday after a large line of white powder was discovered.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department said the Hazmat Team was called to the area of 2255 E. Las Vegas Street for the powder. The area is between Janitell Road and S. Circle Drive on the south side of the city. The fire department eventually announced the white powder in question was lime powder.
The road was back open Monday night.
No one was injured during the incident and the fire department announced there was no danger to the public.
