Strong Smell Of ‘Cooked Urine’ Forces Building Evacuation

The strong smell caused by a man cooking urine has caused the evacuation of an apartment building in Massachusetts, USA.

Police responded to the call of the building manager Wednesday afternoon after finding several unmarked glass containers containing liquids in an apartment.

The manager found the containers after receiving a complaint of a pungent odour.

Assistant Fire Chief Lindsay Stromgren says the smell came from urine and possibly other chemicals. She says it’s unclear what the man was trying to produce.

He was identified, but hasn’t been criminally charged.

A private cleanup company now has the chemicals.

The tenants were allowed back into their apartments after authorities determined Wednesday night that the substances weren’t explosive or a health hazard.
