I also just found out that a professor in the Chemistry department at PSU has been collecting air samples in the vicinity due to similar concerns. I will follow up with the DEQ's online form.

There is often a strong smell that seems to be coming from Bullseye Glass that we ride through and breathe daily. I do not recognize the smell, but it is strong and unique. I am concerned because I do not know what I am breathing. I hope that it is harmless, but I do not know. Does the DEQ have any information on this smell and/or the air quality at this location? If not, is there any way to test the air to make sure it's healthy for those of us who are bike commuting, walking, and living in the area? Also, if there's another way I should be reporting this to DEQ, please let me know. Thank you, John Bershaw Page  2  of  2
