Dear Sir,
I wonder if any other readers have detected the terrible smell which we’ve experienced every night for a few weeks.
I would describe it as a cross between fertiliser and disinfectant, and it is in the air from around 11pm. Whatever it is, it actually seeps into the house, and as I write this at 11am I can still smell it from last night.
About ten years ago we had a similar thing happening, again produced at night, this time smelling really sickly, rather like fried onion. I drove around and tracked it down to Ineos, phoned the managing director who kindly arranged a meeting with me.
He told me exactly what the chemical was, and was grateful I’d told him because they’d invested tens of thousands in what they thought was an efficient air filtration system.
He ordered an immediate halt to production of that particular substance.
Does anyone have any idea who may be responsible, as I’d like to contact them and discuss the nature of the product.
