The Ministry of Health announced a significant decrease in benzene concentration in the industrial zone of Kiryat Ata, confirming that levels no longer exceed permissible limits. This positive development, based on recent air quality monitoring, has led the ministry to lift a previous order that had temporarily relocated classes in two nearby schools. The schools, "Arazim" and "HaTichon HaHevrati," which are situated close to the BAZAN oil refinery complex, will resume normal operations on Tuesday, October 13.
The ministry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environmental Protection, will continue daily monitoring of air quality in the area and will provide public updates as needed.
