This is anecdata. I live in Pittsburgh and have never had a smell issue. I've never had a coworker complain about this to me either. There's a good chance the author could have solved his smell issue by moving down the street to a different neighborhood.
- tempsy 7y agoPollution isn’t always something you can see or smell. Need a better counterargument than “ I don’t smell anything”
- mtbomb 7y agoIt counters the author's argument that he smelled something.
- mesozoic 7y agoTrue it is exactly the same number of data points as well.
- johndubchak 7y agoNot at all. He talked to a County official that confirmed the Industrial Pollution, cited an app that has other anecdotal accounts by others in Pittsburgh. His article isn't simply a one line about smelling something.

- ryguytilidie 7y agoYou know that crucifixion is something worse than someone saying "i need a better counterargument" on a discussion forum, right?
- gethoht 7y agoPull up a elevation/topo map of Pittsburgh and you'll see why some people will smell something while others don't. It's very hilly and it would be easy for certain particulates/gasses to settle in some places but not others.
