At the peak of the odor incident in mid-October, a county Public Works official said that dissolved oxygen concentrations within the channel were measured at 0 milligrams per liter, which is “insufficient for supporting aquatic life.”
“I feel overlooked,” said one resident, who suffers from bronchitis and heart-related conditions. He applied for county assistance to relocate, but never received help.
The city of Carson on Wednesday authorized a lawsuit against the County of Los Angeles over the "lack of urgent reaction" to the foul odor crisis coming from the Dominguez Channel that has been disrupting the lives of thousands of residents.
