What was the mysterious smell along the coast?

San Diego County Air Pollution Control District staff have conducted several investigations after complaints of “strong odors” along the Carlsbad and Oceanside coasts.

Locating the source of the odor was a challenge for investigators because of its fleeting nature, but they confirmed it was not linked to a fire in Escondido at the SDG&E battery plant.

“Our field inspectors are on site and have documented odors resembling a mixture of plastic and asphalt/oil in some areas, but the odors are dissipating quickly,” the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District said in a statement Friday.
