UPI Moscow -
Moscow residents awake Monday to a foul-smelling, sulfurous gas blanketing the
city.
Officials have recommended people stay indoors
until the cause of the smell, as yet undetermined, has been resolved. Media
reports say the smell is of hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs and
can be highly toxic if breathed.
Russian Parliament members, in a building
adjacent to the Kremlin, noted the
odor. "Guys, who knows what the reason for such a stink in
Moscow," a Twitter comment from legislator Sergei Krasinikov said.
The Russian news agency Interfax reported the
country's Emergencies Ministry blamed the odor and fog on a Moscow oil
refinery, but Gazprom
Neft, the refinery operator, said no accident had occurred and
hydrogen sulfide level there were normal. A prior report by the news agency
Tass claimed a wastewater treatment facility was to blame.
Moscow meteorologists noted weather
conditions were "not conducive to the rapid dissipation of pollutants in
the air."
A YouTube video posted by Анна Кашуба
showed the sun over Moscow nearly occluded by the fog.
