Central Illinois residents experience persistent unpleasant odor attributed to dry soil's petrichor and deficit precipitation.
Residents in Central Illinois have been grappling with a persistent, unpleasant odor since September, described as rancid and barf-like.
Initially linked to local water treatment or agricultural sources, these theories were dismissed.
State climatologist Trent Ford attributes the smell to petrichor, a natural scent released from dry soil.
The region's two-inch precipitation deficit this autumn has contributed to the odor's persistence, impacting towns like Bloomington and Champaign.
