The Ministry of Environmental Protection announced late Sunday evening that it has permitted the Bazan refinery in Haifa to resume maintenance work. The operations had been halted on October 11 due to an unusual air pollution event that prompted the closure of two schools in Kiryat Ata.
Despite the environmental incident, the ministry has allowed the refinery to restart its maintenance activities without publicly disclosing the findings of its investigation into the cause of the pollution. The halt in work occurred a week prior to the ministry's decision, following the discovery of exceptionally high pollution levels that posed a potential health risk to residents.
