Pungent odors emanating from a Philadelphia refinery seeped across the Delaware River into South Jersey this morning.
The smell originated from the Sunoco Refinery in South Philadelphia and is reported not to be a health hazard, according to the Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management.
The refinery was emptying a tank when a material settled on the tank's floating roof, officials said. Sunoco has reported the material does not pose a health threat but does emit a smell similar to sulfur or natural gas.
A call to Sunoco this morning was not immediately returned.
