PollutionSubmitted by anonymous on March 15, 2008 - 1:47pm.
While I am very concerned about all pollution, be it light, air,or whatever, has any one noticed the pollution coming from Horsehead Industries in Rockwood, or is it just a figment of my imagination?

Horsehead has a history of being a bad actor in this regard, but do you have anything specific?
While I have nothing specific in a pollution index type study, if is very noticeable at times on my trips to Rockwood. Maybe it is like the "old saying" about putting a frog in a pot of water on the stove, then start heating it. It will stay in the pot and boil. Throw it in a pot of hot water and he will jump out. I guess the people near and around Rockwood are used to the odor and don't realize it is there.
