In a significant development for environmental protection in Abu Dhabi, an industrial plant has been mandated to suspend its operations owing to serious breaches of environmental laws and regulations. Inspection reports and complaints from concerned members of the public uncovered that the facility, specialized in the processing of used oils, was emitting foul gas odors, which were in direct violation of its environmental license requirements.
Located within the Al Mafraq Industrial Zone, the plant failed to implement necessary precautionary measures to mitigate emissions during its operational processes. Furthermore, it neglected to install air pollution control devices, which are imperative for ensuring compliance with the standards set forth by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD).

The EAD, the regulatory body overseeing environmental matters in the emirate, emphasized that the decision to halt operations was a direct consequence of the facility's repeated violations, which had a significant adverse impact on nearby residential areas. Residents had reported discomfort and health concerns due to the noxious odors emanating from the plant.
This move underscores the EAD's unwavering commitment to upholding environmental standards and protecting public health. By holding industrial establishments accountable for their actions and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, the EAD aims to safeguard the well-being of both the environment and the community.
Furthermore, the EAD issued a stern reminder to all industrial facilities operating within Abu Dhabi's jurisdiction to adhere strictly to the legal and technical requirements outlined in their environmental licenses. Failure to comply with these regulations will result in appropriate enforcement actions, including fines, suspensions, and potentially even revocation of operating permits.
The EAD reiterated its dedication to working collaboratively with industries to promote sustainable practices and minimize the environmental footprint of industrial activities. Through effective regulation and enforcement, the agency aims to achieve a harmonious balance between economic development and environmental preservation in Abu Dhabi.
