"DI Air Quality Study Reveals Slight Increase in Pollution When Odor is Present" - Elizabeth Bush, Daniel Island News, Jan 17, 2018
“In the plot, you clearly see strong agreement of data collected by our monitor at MUSC and our monitor on DI when no odor is present,” stated Pearce. “…When the odor was present we found subtle increases in ambient PM2.5 on DI and at MUSC, with a marginal increase on DI. I should note that our data reflect fine particles (e.g. dust) in the atmosphere, not concentrations of the gases most likely contributing to the odor.”
