Clairton-A-1209
I was in the area of the Clairton Coke Works and decided to take some pictures of this incredibly polluting facility. I was nearly overcome by the horrendous smell downwind of the plant. PennFuture has announced their intention to sue for violations relating to clean air (and possibly other violations). Here's an article with that announcement: www.post-gazette.com/local/south/2016/01/29/PennFuture-in... . Note: It is my understanding that the large puffy white plumes are made of water. That said, the smell downwind of the facility was so unbelievably horrible-smelling that I can't even imagine what else besides water is coming out of that facility. My naked eye observed a multitude of small smokey emissions coming from all around the facility.
