Contacted this Monday, May 11, the prefecture of Eure-et-Loir said that it had not been seized by any organization concerning a potential threat (pollution, etc.). Airparif, an air quality monitoring body in Ile-de-France, has not found high levels of sulfur dioxide.
In a tweet, the Firemen of Paris urged citizens to use the 18 on Sunday “only in the event of a proven emergency”. Analyzes were carried out in Paris.
Smell of sulfur felt in several departments probably linked to recent bad weather. Taken into account, this odor does not correspond to any particular intervention in progress. Please only dial 18-112 in the event of a proven emergency. pic.twitter.com/oIwODSbgzY
