Trials with a magic mix of chemicals, called Cloevis, on sewers in the Gold Coast region in Australia stopped 99 per cent of the rotten egg gas or hydrogen sulphide emitted from these pipes.
Personally, I like my sewage to smell like sewage. It lets me know there is a problem with a broken pipe or bad seal.
Dr Valentina Lazarova from France reported on trials on the strong smells coming from the Oued El Harrach River in Algiers. Her team used jasmine-smelling micro sprays on the highway crossing the river and gels on pedestrian bridges nearby to mask the smells.
"We used 1000 questionnaires and face-to-face interviews with local people and found out that 70 per cent of the population were satisfied or very satisfied

All I can say is - idiots.
Good point. I decided to write them a note. I'll see if they have anything to say and report back if they do.
So instead of fixing the cause of the smell, lets cover it up with another smell that isn't repulsive. That is like putting on more and more perfume instead of bathing.
Hydrogen sulphide generation indicates insuficient or no sewage treatment. Fix the cause not cover the symptom.
