I’ve heard murmurs of how gnarly paper mills smell, but how would you describe it personally? Paper doesn’t intuitively seem like something that would smell like shit
The West Point paper mill in Virginia was awful. The smell could travel at least 30 miles. I would describe it as something like rotting wood and all the worst chemicals you could imagine.
Paper mills smell like hydrogen sulfide - rotten eggs. It’s a byproduct of the pulping process. It’s bad, but some of the smells described here sound much worse. Source: the town I live in used to have an operating paper mill.
The next town over had a papermill, and when the wind came from that direction you could smell it like it was in your own backyard. I always said it smelled like farts. Like a super version of that smell salad greens get when you leave them in a fridge too long.
