Air-quality monitoring underestimates toxic emissions to Salton Sea communities, study finds.

Researchers showed that hydrogen sulfide, which is associated with numerous health conditions, is emitted from California 's largest lake at levels far higher and more frequently than previously reported.

The study underscores the risk posed by hydrogen-sulfide emissions to communities already burdened by other environmental and socioeconomic stressors.

The residents who live in the impacted communities are primarily Latinx and Indigenous (Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians ) and already face elevated rates of asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

The research was supported by Burroughs Wellcome Fund , the Google Environmental Justice Data Fund and NASA .
