Mystery odor baffles officials in two counties

Gloucester County Emergency Management officials said they are at a loss to explain the chemical odor that has blanketed their area and apparently drifted across to Ocean County this morning.
"We definitely know there is an odor," said Len Clark, a Gloucester Emergency Management official. "What's causing it, we can't say."Clark said the odor was first detected at around 7 a.m. and hazardous material crews with chemical sniffers were sent out into the field at around 8:45 a.m. They were unable to identify the source of the odor or its chemical components, he said.Initial reports said it was a discharge from the Valero Refinery in Paulsboro, but a refinery spokeswoman denied they were the cause of the odor.Meanwhile, emergency management officials in Ocean County have also been trying to identify the source of the odor, without success, police agencies said.
