It is sulfur dioxide fumes from Savannah’s paper mills.
Why do some mills smell?
The characteristic rotten egg odour is specific to kraft pulp mills, which use sulphur as part of their process. It occurs when pulping byproducts containing sulphur are burned to recover their energy and chemical content, or when tiny amounts of gas escape from tanks or the pulp mill effluent.
Although the smell does not pose a risk to human health, it is unpleasant. Many companies have already taken steps to reduce the odour, adding control systems and low odour boilers, and making other changes to the process.
