It's probably either aspestos or chromium dust!

Good morning, the cloud of dust is happening again today. Large dust clouds coming off the site drifting into the city. I drove by the site this AM on my way to work and confirmed it is coming from the same place. Based on their website, could this be contaminated dredge blowing around? http://www.cleanearthinc.com/locations/koppers

I hope not, if so, there can be some real nasty pollutants we are all encountering!

It's not the old. They have been dumping and grading a massive amount of fill on that site for a while. I think I remember reading the plan was to raise its elevation to make it less flood prone. Originally there was supposed to be a waste to energy facility built there years ago.

This is what is used to look like:

It was a facility coal was 'cooked' into coke, coal tar, and producer gas (the gas that was used for cooking and lighting before being replaced with natural gas).

Oh wow, that is next to the site I posted. So it's the sediment from there blowing around?

It's the Koppers Coke Superfund site in Kearny. There's also a Clean Earth facility that "is permitted to receive and process in excess of 3,000 cubic yards of contaminated and uncontaminated sediment material per day" http://www.cleanearthinc.com/locations/koppers

The dust did show up as a spike in particulates in the air monitoring station:

I figured it was just dust from around the streets. The cloud explains why my allergies were so hellish this morning.
