Fresh environmental tests conducted at Bahrain’s protected Buhair Valley have confirmed that the site is currently safe from harmful pollutants, easing public concerns after recent controversy surrounding visitors flocking to the ecologically sensitive reserve.
The inspections, carried out by the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE) on behalf of the Oil and Environment Ministry, found that all environmental indicators were within normal levels, with no hazardous substances detected in the valley’s water or surrounding ecosystem.
However, a second round of contamination testing requested from the Health Ministry is still pending, with results expected on Monday following the Ashoora holidays.
