Subject: Pong in the air is 'Euro-whiff'
Written By: Philip Eno on 04/18/08 at 11:53 am
More on BBC News Online
A foul smell detected in parts of England and Wales is being blamed on easterly winds bringing farming or industrial smells across the Channel.
Labelled "Euro-whiff" by the Met Office, the source of the smell - alternately described as sulphur and manure - is under investigation.
Sarah Holland from the Met Office said it had had dozens of calls from the public looking for information.
The BBC News website has received over a thousand e-mails about the smell.
Readers have reported a range of sulphur and manure-like smells hanging over large parts of England and Wales.
"Basically, over the last few days, we've had fresh, strong winds from an easterly direction," said Miss Holland. "As a result some of our air is coming from continental Europe."
