@pennfuture.bsky.socialToday marks the 73rd day this year of rotten-egg smelling Hydrogen Sulfide levels exceeding state limits in Allegheny County.
This marks the 3rd time in the past 7 days #AlleghenyCounty has exceeded this standard.
@pennfuture.bsky.socialThat’s very upsetting to hear that was your experience. Thank you for sharing. PA is such a beautiful state and every community deserves environmental protection and heathy air.
@pennfuture.bsky.socialHydrogen sulfide exposure can lead to symptoms including eye irritation, headaches, memory loss, breathing problems, and balance issues.
@pennfuture.bsky.socialIn the latest Emissions Inventory in #AlleghenyCounty, 98% of H2S emissions came from one company — U.S. Steel. Allegheny County Health Department has previously identified that they had no evidence of anyone else but U.S. Steel contributing to these H2S exceedances.
