As the weather has started to cool down a lot of farms, gardens etc are putting fertiliser down. Some of it stinks. The smell lingers and seems to spread about

https://www.purpleair.com/store Having one of the device at home may help us all. Most of us should buy this and the outcome to be shared with Supreme Council for Environment.
What I know is that, rotten egg smells are usually caused by Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S), a gas commonly linked to sewage/wastewater backups, gas leaks, or nearby industrial operations. Why not report this smell to The Supreme Council for Environment, as this is the main goverment authority responsible for air quality monitoring and ambient air safety?

Haven't smelled it myself but low tide does this in a lot of coastal areas around the Gulf… if it's every day then something else is going on, worth reporting to the municipality
