Reply to comment by Puzzleheaded_Rub858 in I am tracking and mapping observations of the mysterious odor and residue that is being reported across the Northeast. While most reports are concentrated in NY, I have heard anecdotal reports of the event in PA since the first night the odor cloud rolled in. by Ashamed-Reflection-9

What did it smell like?

Some said sauerkraut, others said death or rotting take out. It was a strong chemical smell for sure.

Is there a paper mill nearby? The wood pulp often has a cabbage smell and is sprayed with chemicals that have a distinct smell.

I don't think it's the same smell but I will log it just in case.

Love the place dearly. Have family there. This is not an unusual smell for lower bucks. As the poster said, there are chemical plants (I have family that works at them) as well as heavy manufacturing.

The odor I smelled wasn't bad at first sniff or when it was weak but when it's strong it prolonged it's overpowering. It was like incense.
