SunshineGal,
I used to live near 23 mile and Gratiot, close to an industrial site that emitted a nasty plastic smell every so often. The EPA checked it out, found the source and then told me that nothing could be done unless the neighborhood petitioned the plastics plant to put better filters on their stacks.

Sometimes you can drive through the city of New Baltimore and smell something nasty, too.

Then there are the new neighborhoods popping up in the suburbs. Many of these new subdivisions are located on top of old landfills. Who knows, maybe the landfills are good for growing gardens in your new backyard.

What about the strong factory odors you can smell when you're driving on I-94 near the downriver area. You can see the smoke stacks. There are still people living around the factories. Back in the day, people lived close to where they worked in the factories so they accepted and tolerated the stenchy smell. It's no wonder so many people have asthma. Today, people have more choices. People don't have to live near all the pollution.

You may want to consider moving. The ash thing doesn't sound good. The last time I checked, there are no volcanos near metro airport. I haven't heard of any forest fires out your way either.

Do you mean the EPA when you write, "State Big Wigs", who aren't doing anything to help monitor the pollution? You can try writing to your congressman or woman. That may or may not help. Moving away from the source of the pollution may be your only option if it bothers you that much.

I would suggest bringing your problem to the atten

Gee, funny you should say that, I drove by Inkster and 94 the other day and had to stop at the traffic light there and was glad to get out of that area. I live in Taylor also and wondered about injecting harmful toxins deep into the earth and under Lake Erie. The last i heard is that the well is now closed and the operators are no where to be found.

Welcome to the blogs Sunshinegal . Stooltime , I live at 24 mi. and Gratiot , that nasty smell is fish-flies . Thanks to Michigans economy , I don't know that there are any plastic factories left [ other than China ] . Take a sample of that white ash , then take it to a local university for study , and see what you can find out .
