What is that darn smell?

The Editor, Why does the air in Richmond reek? Often early in the morning the smell in the air wakes me up. When the wind is from the East the acrid smell hurts the back of my throat and makes my eyes water.

The Editor,

Why does the air in Richmond reek?

Often early in the morning the smell in the air wakes me up.

When the wind is from the East the acrid smell hurts the back of my throat and makes my eyes water.

I was once told it was a composting plant in East Richmond.

The very unpleasant smell cannot be good for any of us, young or old if it causes such reactions.

How clean is our air really? What can we do about it?
