This is the best summary I could come up with:
The odour has been smelt in an area spanning at least 60 km (37 miles) along Finland’s southern coastline and resembles sulphur or burnt rubber was, the department said.
Adding: “According to the current information from the air quality measurements of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, the smell does not pose a health risk.
Russian media outlet Fontanka reported on Sunday that residents in several areas of St Petersburg, the Russian city closest to Finland, had complained of an unpleasant odour, comparing it to that of gas, garbage or burnt rubber.
I woke up with a headache and couldn’t breathe,” wrote user Masha Artamonova.
According to local authorities cited by Fontanka, monitoring stations had not recorded anything above the permitted levels of air pollution.
A Russia Environmental Management Committee also claimed that the nearest atmospheric air monitoring stations did not record excess pollution.
