"Gas-like" smell due to pollution
Several residents had raised concern over a "gas-like" smell spreading in several areas of Qatar, but an investigation into the matter revealed that it would not put residents in danger.
According to a report on the Gult TImes, public health was never at risk, a government committee determined in its findings presented yesterday.
“The smell was the result of the presence of an excessive level of gas burnings from industrial sectors and rundown of exposure to the upper atmosphere,” it was disclosed.
A special committee had been formed under a decree of HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al-Thani to inquire and monitor the causes of a “gas-like” smell.
The inquiry committee was led by HE the Staff Major General Saad bin Jassim al-Khulaifi, the director general of Public Security and president of Permanent Emergency Committee (PEC).
The findings of the committee were presented at a press conference yesterday at the Ministry of Interior’s National Command Centre at Duhail.
The unusual lower clouds and slow movement of wind in the atmosphere for a long period then caused the gas to stay stagnant, which then spread from the north coast when the winds started to move northeast.
