The prevailing wind is from the east. It blows the Hugo Neu emissions into Greenville, sparing Port Liberte (for the most part). But yeah, when on rare occasions it blows north, it can suck. I don't think Hugo Neu can be moved.

Just remembering when I used to bike up Port Liberte and was astonished that people paying enormous sums to live in a gated community would tolerate the enormous stink from the recycling plant right next door ... how is this not a health/quality of life problem for the residents? Is there any action to try to move this operation elsewhere?

My comment "It's JC get used to it" was made tongue-in-cheek. Kind of. Hugo Neu in Greenville releases so many toxins into the air that it's not even funny. Every single day when I drive west to Exit 14B I smell their toxins. Smells electrical, too, a weird metallic smell. But I would not hold much hope that our government will do anything to stop it. So going back to my original comment - if you don't want to breathe it, move. Seriously.

Use 1-877-WARN-DEP instead. They'll route the call to the local health inspector's office.

no see i dont have to live with it. i just read a report from california that these industries are unregulated and release dangerous toxins into the air. i dont know about New Jersey but I will look into it. they take old air conditioners and refrigerators and engine blocks apart and release toxic freon and other dangerous chemicals into the air. these dangerous metals and chemicals accumulate in our bodies and never leave.
I've never smelled anything like that before and I knew it came from metals or something electric burning. here's the article i read http://www.gcmonitor.org/article.php?id=1079

It's from the Schiavone/Hugo Neu scrap metal recycling plants.
This toxic air is always there; it just depends on wind direction whether you smell it or not. It's JC, get used to it.

The smell is pretty bad in Paulus Hook, too. It almost smells like an electrical fire (which had me wandering sound my apartment feeling outlets and sniffing the cord to my laptop).
What a terrible smell. Here's hoping for the humidity to lift!

Does anyone smell that today? There is very strong odor of chemicals in the air. Is it more pronounced than other days due to humidity today? I'm in the heights, anyone smell it in other parts of JC.
