'(It is) a very burning, chemical smell... There have been times when it has been so bad we've had to bring the kids in from outside.' VicRyc
INDIANAPOLIS — There are days when the air smells so bad you can't stay outside for long, folks who live and work in this near-southside neighborhood say.
The EPA alleged that Metalworking Lubricants had violated its permit by emitting more than 25 tons of hazardous air pollutants per year. The hazardous pollutants included naphthalene, ethylbenzene, xylene, phenol and toluene. Niki Girls, director of the Concord Neighborhood Center located a few blocks away from Metalworking Lubricants, said while residents may have grown accustomed to the smell, they don't like it.
The Indianapolis plant is surrounded by a tall fence topped with barbed wire. Inside that fence are a dozen or so huge, white storage tanks, a warehouse and several buildings.
