Representatives from the Basque Government's Departments of Environment and Health have officially stated that the unpleasant odors detected in Arrigorriaga in recent months pose no health risk to residents. Air quality analyses conducted at various points indicate that the source of the odors may be related to nearby industrial activity. An olfactometric study is underway to confirm this hypothesis, with initial results expected in the last quarter of the year. It has been concluded that meteorological conditions, such as high temperatures and low wind, facilitate the spread of odors.
Furthermore, the association Malmasingo Lagunak has organized two events in Arrigorriaga to examine the impact of women and feminine architecture. On October 8th, feminist architect Verónica Benedet will give a talk titled 'Feminine Architecture at Risk: Revitalize to Resist.' On October 10th, a guided tour called 'Re-living the Heritage of Arrigorriaga's Women' will take place, aiming to recover the history and heritage of the town's women. Pre-registration via email is required to participate.
In the music sector, Altzoan Zaintza Sarea has opened registration for the 'Musika Familiarekin' and 'Musika Familiartean' activities. The former offers sessions for children aged 0-2 and 3-5, while the latter, for children aged 0-3 and 3-6, aims to develop musical intelligence and communication skills. Both activities will occur monthly, and registration can be done via email.
The Arrigorriaga City Council has announced that TDT interference caused by 4G and 5G networks will be resolved free of charge through the 'Llega 700' service. The frequencies used by mobile operators can affect television signals, and affected residents can call a toll-free number for a technician to perform the necessary adaptations. The deadline for claims is six months.
The parents' association Gure Magalean has opened registration for extracurricular activities until September 15th. English, ballet, modern dance, taekwondo, and cooperative games will be offered for children aged four to six. Older students can choose from painting, climbing, theater, batucada, modern dance, hip hop, chess, sewing, and multi-sport activities.
Finally, the Arrigorriaga City Council has requested citizen cooperation to keep the streets free of rodents, despite ongoing disinfection efforts. Recommendations include using trash bins, not feeding stray animals, and preventing water accumulation.
