And .. what was the chemical-profile of this smell, that .. doesn't need to be tested, .. to know that it doesn't contain health-risks??

Neither ideology nor prejudice substitutes validly for scientific-method.

Don't accept bullshit/propaganda in science's place.

Bowcock said it was a “common” fuel product that’s used to heat up the refinery process that was burning.

“It’s not anything that we would find as highly toxic or any kind of chemical waste, it’s actually a hydrocarbon product,” he said.

Probably some petrochemical gas like diesel, or some burnt oil product. Would be helpful if they tested it still, even if it wasn't that serious.
