What you see here is not a case of soap and water forming a lather on this man-made lake
00:09
of Jumeirah Islands. It is in fact a mountain of froth that is mysteriously forming across
00:14
several such lakes in the upscale community. It's not clear what has caused this phenomenon,
00:19
but it has certainly spooked residents of the community. Many fear the foul-smelling
00:24
foam could be contaminated, leading to health hazards. As Express visited the site last
00:30
week, two workers were hopelessly trying to dissipate the enormous froths of scummy foam
00:36
by shooting them with jets of water. It is an eyesore all right for residents living
00:40
here and those passing by the lake every day. But worse, a constant stench emanating from
00:47
the froth is raising concerns among them as to the potential health hazards that could
00:53
be brewing beneath. Meanwhile, residents have taken to social media to express their concerns.
00:58
One resident said, the stench is so overpowering you can't walk without covering your nose.
01:04
Another said, it's like a fine environment ecology project for a school or university.
01:09
Another resident, however, said, it doesn't look like organic bubbles or foam to me. It
01:13
is not a case of soap residue. What is this? Even as environmentalists try and figure out
01:19
why thousands of fish washed up dead in a lake in Jumeirah Islands, another mystery
01:25
remains unresolved. One of these large swathes of foam forming on another lake in the upscale
01:32
community. Anjana Kumar, Express.
