Specialized environmental reports have warned of the likely return of foul odors permeating the atmosphere of the capital and neighboring cities in the coming days, attributing the phenomenon to ongoing sulfur and gas emissions from industrial and oil facilities, as
well as the indiscriminate burning of waste. The reports criticized the inadequacy of proactive measures taken to address the root causes of pollution, pointing out that current interventions are strictly reactive and lack decisive, deterrent actions against polluting sources. Authorities
are urged to enforce environmental laws and apply stringent standards to curb the emission of toxic fumes that pose significant threats to public health and the climate.
