What was the stench in New Jersey from?

According from officials in Camden County from nj.com: “It is confirmed that the odor is traveling from Hammonton, Atlantic County. A short time ago officials conducted ‘mosquito spraying’ like we do in our area as well. Please know that although the odor is foul it is deemed safe at this time.”
