It is another cold day in horrible Stinkburgh. It is about 14 degrees F. I'm still missing my good girl. RIP Baby.

Major pollution spike this AM and stench as expected. Plume(s) from Edgar Thomson appear to align with a significant rise in PM2.5 levels nearby. Video starts around 4:17am. (Thx to @breathe-project.bsky.social and CMU CREATE Lab for BreatheCam footage) #Stinkburgh #Pittsburgh #Airquality

🚨🚨#Stinkburgh Alert!! Second day in a row we have horrible stench here in Pittsburgh on an otherwise beautiful morning. So sad we have to deal with this so often. Where is the Allegheny County Health Department???? Will they hold local polluters to account? Smells like steel mill.

🚨‼️#Stinkburgh Alert! Strong inversion forecasted for tomorrow morning. Wind from the south. I anticipate that some areas will experience elevated pollution and stench overnight and tomorrow morning. Stay alert. Report smells via ACHD and SmellPGH if you smell something.

#Stinkburgh Alert ‼️ I haven’t smelled it this bad in a long time. Amazing sulfur and burnt plastic smell. And my Awair VOC sensor is *really* high. 🤮

🚨#Stinkburgh Alert! Suffocating burnt plastic smell in Squirrel Hill South right now. Winds coming from the south per my new little Tempest weather station. Not sure what it is. Ugh. SmellPGH shows I’m not the only one smelling it.

🚨🚨#Stinkburgh Alert!! Major stench this morning. Again. I sure wish the ACHD would fix this problem. Malodor is specifically not allowed in Article XXI county air pollution regs. They need to find it and stop the emissions once and for all.

‼️#Stinkburgh Alert! Walked out my front door a few minutes ago and learned that the "moderate inversion" had yielded awful industrial smells at my house, but not until about 9am. Looks like I'm not the only one reporting. Hopefully clearing out soon, but tomo might also be bad.

#Stinkburgh Alert! Polluted/smelly air today in Pittsburgh. More likely this week. Watch out for some light impact of wildfire smoke from Canada on our regional air quality this week, though only time (and wind) will tell if we get hit worse in the coming weeks. #SmellPGH
