High levels of poisonous hydrogen cyanide detected in Tijuana River Valley, researchers say
The County of San Diego is disputing findings by researchers who say they detected dangerous levels of hydrogen cyanide Monday morning in the Tijuana River Valley. Hydrogen cyanide is an extremely poisonous and potentially deadly gas . Researchers from San Diego State University and UC-San Diego claim they’ve also encountered hydrogen sulfide, another toxic material and this is why they decided to temporarily abandon their work in the area, leaving many residents to wonder if they are in danger. Both compounds are said to be coming from the high volume of raw sewage flowing in from Mexico into the Tijuana River Valley just north of the border. … The County of San Diego say that despite the warnings brought on by the independent researchers and their ensuing move out of the Valley for health reasons, there is no need for residents to be fearful.
