You guys clearly didn't even read the article.
Yup, read it. People may have issues with air quality. If they do, keep reporting complaints/violations and you would be surprised at how many things can get fixed if there is an actually problem. If one day there is a problem, they find it and fix it, don't expect them to go away just because you don't like them.

I think a lot of these types of zealots always come from a big city, and live in an artificial world. They seem to think that its possible to have a modern society without pollution. Making things, having oil and gas, even food makes things dirty and produces things that smell. This is reality. Ever been past a cattle feed yard, dairy, large pig or poultry farm? Ever been to a foundry, steel mill, or coal fired power plant? Ever been to a rendering plant that starts the process of making those nice leather seats in your beemer? How about a paper mill where they make that stuff that makes your visit to the toilet a little nicer? I'm not advocating releasing all kinds of toxic substances that will hurt or kill, but smells, dirt etc are a part of real life. But its dumb articles like this that cause problems, but they come from people that know nothing about how the milk or beef they buy in their store got to the store shelve. They seem to think that everyone's job should be sitting at a desk behind a computer.
