Gas emissions from the burning scrap tires site in Mina Abdullah are not alarming, affirmed the Environment Public Authority. Two EPA teams specialized in measuring air quality and treatment of hazardous waste acted at the site and examined pollution levels, said Mohammad Al-Enezi, EPA's deputy director general for environment and technical affairs, in remarks to KUNA. The two teams coordinated with personnel from the fire department and the municipality to take necessary measures to deal with hazardous waste, he said, adding that the blazes were contained and the burning tires were buried with heaps of sand. For his part, Ayman Bou-Jebara, in charge of monitoring air quality, said winds this morning reached 18 km per hour and picked up to 28 km per hour, shortly later, thus causing pollutants emitted from the burning site to scatter quickly. He denied rumors that smoke spotted in the day's wee hours was emitted from oil installations.
