Amman, Oct. 11 (Petra) – The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM)
launched a pilot program using beneficial bacteria to reduce foul
odors in Downtown Amman, the municipality announced on Sunday.
In its statement, the GAM said the biological treatment conducted by
its Vector Control and Animal Care Department deploys “eco-friendly”
microorganisms to break down organic waste, the primary source of
unpleasant smells, to significantly improve urban air quality.
Specialized teams are monitoring the field trial to assess its
effectiveness before deciding the program expansion to cover
additional neighborhoods.
The GAM stated the biological treatment complements GAM’s street
cleaning and site maintenance operations, aimed at boosting overall
environmental quality in the capital’s “historic” downtown core.
