About four miles of beaches in Los Angeles were closed on Monday after more than 17 million gallons of sewage spilled into Santa Monica Bay over the weekend.

 

"Water samples are being tested and I'm getting more information about the scope of the problem," Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said.

 

She said the spill had been caused by a mechanical failure at the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant and the plant had been able to prevent an even larger spill, but called for answers about "how and why this happened."

 

Segundo Beach, the Grand Avenue Storm Drain and the Dockweiler State Beach at both the Water Way Extension and Hyperion Plant have all been affected and are closed to swimmers, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Report: Bug zapper causes vision issues at medical facility

 

A bug zapper that had the wrong kind of light bulb caused vision problems for five people at a veterans medical facility in North Carolina, a spokesperson said.

 

Yves-Marie Daley from the Durham VA Health Care System said the bulb emitted light that was too strong, impacting the vision of three employees, a resident and a contractor who had a meeting near the device, The News & Observer reported.

 

The people affected are healing and their vision is improving, according to Daley. She didn’t specify the date of the incident or the severity of the vision loss.

 

Bug zappers attract insects with ultraviolet light and then electrocute them, but the light usually isn’t intense enough to harm people. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says more powerful UV lamps — like those used as disinfectants against the coronavirus — can cause eye injuries and skin reactions similar to burns.

 

The center opened an internal investigation and is evaluating other bug zappers for similar problems.
