CARSON, Calif. (KABC) -- Los Angeles County officials are continuing their efforts to get rid of an overwhelmingly pungent smell coming from the Dominguez Channel in Carson and have some advice for families coping with it.
Meanwhile, the Department of Public Works is spraying a non-toxic, biodegradable deodorizer into the channel to try to alleviate the smell.
The foul small, described as a mixture of rotten eggs, gas and "The Walking Dead," began plaguing residents earlier this month.
Residents are urged to run their heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems or portable high-efficiency portable air filter overnight, while keeping their doors and windows closed.

In addition, a system of aeration devices will be installed to speed up decomposition of the organic matter in the channel believed to be causing the smell. Officials note the process may cause "short-term peak" in odor issues.
