Residents in Liwan, Warsan, and International City are currently facing a major issue with an unpleasant odour suspected to be coming from a nearby sewage treatment plant. The smell is disrupting their daily lives, especially during the evenings and early mornings, making it challenging for residents to find relief. The situation has caused residents like Sarah Jafar and her family to experience headaches, nausea, and vomiting due to the overpowering stench, making it impossible to open windows or step out onto balconies.

The problem has been reported to Dubai Municipality, but residents are still waiting for a response. The foul smell, described as similar to a septic tank, continues to worsen with the changing seasons, leaving residents feeling helpless. Many have resorted to altering their lifestyles by keeping windows and doors tightly sealed, but the odour still manages to seep in, affecting their mental and physical well-being. Residents like Amira Hassan have had to give up enjoying outdoor spaces due to the smell, impacting their daily activities.

As the issue persists, residents are beginning to consider relocating due to the health risks associated with prolonged exposure to the unpleasant odours. Doctors have warned that exposure to such smells can lead to respiratory problems, headaches, gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and vomiting, and potentially long-term health effects. Certain groups, such as children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing conditions, may be more sensitive to these odours and experience exacerbated symptoms.

To tackle the odour issue and mitigate health risks, residents are encouraged to improve ventilation in their homes, invest in air purifiers, and use natural odour absorbers like baking soda or vinegar. Addressing the source of the odours is crucial to prevent chronic respiratory conditions and potential cardiovascular issues over time. Experts like Dr. Lina Nasr have highlighted the need for collective and personal efforts to address the issue, including improved waste management and consistent upkeep of sewage facilities.

On an individual level, Dr. Nasr recommends using HEPA filters in AC systems, changing filters regularly, and incorporating odour-absorbing plants like peace lilies and spider plants to improve indoor air quality. Many countries have implemented effective odour control measures by installing biofilters at sewage treatment plants to capture and treat unpleasant smells before they disperse. As residents continue to seek relief from the odour issue, they hope that authorities will take the situation seriously and work towards finding a solution to improve their living conditions.
