A peculiar, nauseating odor was noticed by countless people on Wednesday across a wide area of San Diego County, leading to lots of speculation about the source of the stink. Several readers suggested in the comments section of online news stories that the odor might have been caused by movement along local earthquake faults.
Interesting idea, but it is not correct, says Tom Rockwell, a seismologist at San Diego State University.
"Quakes don't produce odors," said Rockwell, who is at a conference in Washington, D.C. "There's not some big release of gas."
Rockwell says that includes a gas like methane. Some readers suggested that methane could be the cause of the mystery. "There are no significant known deposits of methane in San Diego," Rockwell said.
He noted that sea weed can give off an odor, at times. But its very localized. Such an odor wouldn't drift far inland, to places like Escondido and Scripps Ranch, where some residents reported smelling the stink.
