San Diego health threat amid sewage flow from Mexico

A sewage flow crossing borders from Tijuana, Mexico, into San Diego County is potentially causing a multi-dimensional public health emergency.

This transboundary issue, stemming from insufficient infrastructure and urbanization, presents an ongoing threat to public health with substantial socioeconomic and legal consequences.

A white paper, shared with The Hill before its public release on Tuesday, highlights the concern that this cross-border contamination introduces a mixture of chemicals and pathogens into households not only through water but also through air and soil.

Of particular alarm is the risk of the resurgence of diseases previously eliminated in California, the presence of microbes carrying antibiotic-resistant genes, and the introduction of industrial chemicals banned in the U.S., as noted by the authors, The Hill reported.
