The mayor and holder of the environmental portfolio, Avihu Han, told Lahi Pa:

A very serious incident, the issue must be investigated in depth and action must be taken against the polluting agent with strict enforcement. This sharpens the need to promote and shorten the timetables for the evacuation of the polluting factories from the Haifa Bay and in the first step to evacuate the fuel tanks of 2015, energy infrastructures that are in the heart of Kiryat Haim and pollute and create hazards for the residents of Kiryat and this is intolerable.

I will work with every possible factor to see these factories exit and close as soon as possible. We are quite tired of various excuses and glitches. Haifa Bay must become the cleanest area in the State of Israel and it must be today."

"We will continue to monitor and do our best to demand the reduction of emissions and the prevention of hazards"

The Association of Cities in the Haifa Bay Area for Environmental Protection stated:

"The union takes a serious view of the incident last week in which all measures to prevent hazards were not taken and the results were serious and severe. We must remember that the residents of Kiryat Haim live in close proximity to the tank farm and furthermore there are 2 nearby schools - where the population is particularly sensitive to this type of hazards. We will continue to monitor and do our best to demand the reduction of emissions and the prevention of hazards."

"An operation was performed to replace a faucet without any treatment for emissions and to prevent odor"

The Ministry of Environmental Protection informed Lahi Pa:

"The Ministry of Environmental Protection takes seriously the incident last week in Israel, when a faucet was replaced without any treatment for emissions and odor prevention. The representative of the Ministry of Environmental Protection arrived at the scene and examined the event and also examined the process of cleaning the tank and its compliance with the pre-approved plan. The office examines the findings and will act accordingly according to its authority and will use enforcement tools as needed."

"The measurement and monitoring tests of the teams did not raise any suspicion of odor hazards"

From the 1971 notebook it was given to Lahi Pa:

"Following complaints from residents who live near the tank farm, regarding the fear of odor hazards, teams from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Fire Department, as well as the Union of Cities entered the farm in order to closely inspect the operation of the facility and the maintenance work carried out on the site. The measurement and monitoring tests by the teams did not raise any suspicion of odor hazards As much as there was such a hazard, it has nothing to do with the 2011 containers.

  1. His father's reaction is baseless.. I was born in Kiryat Haim 66 years old... What can he do that others have not succeeded? Nothing and nothing.

  2. The person responsible for monitoring environmental quality odors simply farted and that was the source of the odor. There is no need to empty the containers. The problem was dealt with as required.

  3. Our father or our eyes, you are a chair. You all came out against a cliché, and it is a proof of him. You are moths and you will not do anything. Everyone only cares about the chair. Shame on you.

  4. How do you teach a full name? They died there from lung cancer. Ruined families. The whole neighborhood is infected. Two dangers since 1990.

  5. This is how Kiryat Haim-Bafadh has been described for 70 years:
    A very serious event, a worrying event, we will make sure to check, not where it will continue, it is not possible that they will not check..
    In short, nothing will happen. They will continue to store fuel there in tanks full of cracks without a permit.
    In the investigation committee like the cover-up of the Carmel disaster, there will be no blame..
