A foul-smelling cloud of mercaptan gas escaped from a factory in northern France on Tuesday, making life unpleasant from the outskirts of Paris to Britain's shores and prompting scores of emergency calls.
France's Interior Ministry said the mercaptan gas - often added to odorless gas as a safety measure - from the Rouen chemical factory is harmless.
Police in the coastal English town of Hastings reassured residents that mercaptan from Rouen was the likely cause of the odor they reported.
