Residents of Novosibirsk's Leninsky district again complain about the pungent smell Residents of Sloboda and Yugo-Zapadny micro-districts report a strong stench that regularly covers residential areas. According to the residents of the city, an unpleasant smell appears almost every day, which makes it impossible to open windows and ventilate apartments. "They are so tired of these smells that they cannot open the windows and ventilate them," the residents of Novosibirsk are outraged on social media. According to the descriptions of local residents, the smell is reminiscent of burnt wool or leather. This is especially noticeable in the early morning and late evening. The complaints come not only from Sloboda, but also from other parts of the western and southwestern residential areas. The problem has been going on for several years. The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Prosecutor's Office repeatedly carried out inspections, and several factories in the industrial zone on Tolmachevskaya Street received fines. However, judging by new complaints, the situation has not yet changed. At the same time, according to the Hydrometeorological Center of West Siberia, on November 3, the air quality in all regions of Novosibirsk is estimated to be clean.
