SAN DIEGO—To help South Bay residents with odors caused by the ongoing Tijuana River Valley pollution crisis, the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District was preparing Wednesday to distribute 10,000 air purifiers and filters.

The items will filter odors caused by hydrogen sulfide and are intended as a temporary measure while the International Boundary and Water Commission and other entities work on permanent solutions such as repairing and expanding a wastewater treatment plant.
