With reference to reports about odours in Dun Mikiel Xerri Street in Attard, the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA), as the environment regulator, advises that, it is working closely with the Department of Civil Protection.
As part of this investigation, ERA officials were on site and it appears that the odours are the result of a substance, identified as urea, that came out of a private industrial facility, together with rainwater.
ERA will continue to follow up this case.
