Sunday 05/20/2012 Air Pollution

More late night burning in North St. Paul, MN.  This happens often and is why we can never open the windows before bedtime.

3:00 PM:  Faint to light wood smoke coming in on the wind.  54 degrees, cloudy, windy.

6:30 PM:  No smoke.  61 degrees, sunny.

8:30 PM:  There is a light something in the air that smells like motor vehicle exhaust fumes.  I don't know what it is.  It could be exhaust fumes or somebody could be burning waste.

10:30 PM:  A light pollutant of some type that smells like exhaust fumes continues.

11:45 PM:  Faint wood smoke.  I don't know why anyone would start using a fireplace at this late hour on a Sunday night.  My guess is that someone has a bonfire going or is preparing to burn waste.  There is someone around somewhere who likes burning waste on Sunday nights.
