[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3197655, member: 5412"] Yup. Carbon black. We have a plant here in town that supplies a whole lot of it to the major tire manufacturers in this part of the country. Nasty place. I can't believe the workers don't have black lung. They might, I just don't know. Signs in several stores in town saying if you work at carbon black, don't enter the store with your work shoes. They get an hour a day after work on the clock to shower and clean up. Some take the hour to do that, and some just go home an hour early covered in that stuff. It doesn't clean up easily. They lost a major lawsuit several years ago for polluting the city and the rural areas around it. The trees were black, the grass was black, and the road leaving the place was black. They spent tons of money buying out and relocating a small community that had developed around it. We would have that carbon black on our porch occasionally if the wind was right. We are only 2 miles away as the crow flies. [/QUOTE]
