Sunday 06/03/2012 Air Pollution

It smells like waste being burned after midnight this morning.  Smells like particle board is being burned.  The horrible smoke from whatever was being burned lasted most of the morning hours.

1:30 AM:  Strong smoke from what smells like burning waste.  It smells like particle board being burned.  Particle board is sawdust and a glue binder pressed into sheets.  I don't know what waste is being burned.  But regular wood logs are not being burned at this time. 

Will this hell ever end?  I woke up with a headache and a sick feeling.  I feel hungover from all the wood smoke pollution.  It's something terrible.  You can't imagine it until you've lived it.

4:15 AM:  Light to moderate waste smoke continues.  Still smells like particle board being burned.

7:20 AM:  A very faint waste smoke continues.  The North St. Paul hell never ends!

10:30 AM:  Very faint wood smoke in the front yard, nothing in the back.  Not much.  Enough to smell it.

12:00 PM:  Very faint wood smoke in the front yard, nothing in the back.

1:35 PM:  Very faint wood smoke in the back yard now.

4:30 PM:  No smoke.  Cloudy, 73 degrees.

6:00 PM:  No smoke.  74 degrees, sunny again.

6:25 PM:  A very faint smoke of some type is in the air.  It does not smell like a grill.

7:30 PM:  Light to moderate wood smoke.  There it is.  We relive the North St. Paul nightmare every night.

8:30 PM:  No real smoke in the air but it is not fresh.

10:00 PM:  Moderate wood smoke.  Another evening of heavy wood smoke pollution in North St. Paul!

11:00 PM:  Moderate wood smoke continues.

Midnight:  Very faint wood smoke lingers in the air.
