Mayor Paloma Aguirre has heard the cries for help, which is why she's heading up a new task force of doctors and researchers to find out the correlation between the sewage spills and air qualityThe Imperial Beach resident is among the many people in the area, along with Nestor and other South Bay residents, who say they're experiencing health issues as a result of the cross-border sewage problem.
“We’ve talked plenty about the gases and odors and odor monitors, but that's, again, a very narrow scope. We're not looking at all the other things that we're seeing, right, that could cause acute to chronic, you know, types of ailments that nobody's really looking at comprehensively," Aguirre said."So, we're going to start.”
“It didn't seem to discriminate against people who weren't in the water,” said Dr. Kimberly Dixon. “Normally if we were to see a big sewage spill, we would see a large increase in illness from people who were in ocean water. These were not patients who were going in the ocean.”
