Salton Sea Restoration Efforts Could Fail Without Science<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are finally efforts underway to improve the environmental health disaster that is the Salton Sea, California\u2019s largest and most polluted lake. However, a group of UC Riverside scientists, engineers, medical experts and economists has published a new report warning that these efforts may not succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Childhood Asthma and the Salton Sea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents of the eastern Coachella Valley show an increased incidence of pulmonary disease compared to the general population; it has been estimated that while the incidence of childhood asthma in California is roughly 8%, in the region surrounding the Salton Sea it has been estimated to be upwards of 20%, with significant economic and social impacts in the community. Much of this effect has been attributed to exposure to the high concentration of aerosolized particulates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salton Sea Aerosol Exposure Triggers Unique and Mysterious Pulmonary Response<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communities surrounding the Salton Sea show high rates of asthma due, possibly, to high aerosol dust levels resulting from the sea shrinking over time. Scientists suspect, however, the Salton Sea plays an additional role in pulmonary health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
