For nearly two weeks, an overpowering foul smell — likened to rotten eggs, a dead body and poop — has been wafting from the Dominguez Channel.

"It’s like we’re gonna be known as that stinky city now, and I don’t want that," says Otilia Marquez.

The stink has been the butt of plenty of online jokes: "If you can’t smell the air in Carson you DEFINITELY have COVID," one Twitter user quipped.

Others have suggested filling the Goodyear Blimp, which has a base in the city, with Febreze.
Los Angeles County officials say the smell is caused by hydrogen sulfide — a flammable, colorless gas known as “sewer gas” — coming from decaying vegetation in the channel that has built up because of the drought.
