This Smoke in Ohio is : filled with chemical smells.

[Phantomrain.org]

Last night a strange smell started creeping in by morning it was insane how much haze was here.
I cannot be the only one , but that smell of the smoke is scary.

Anyone else notice the chemical smell of this smoke from Canada , something seems so off about it.

Im going to take my drone up latter and see if i can find a clearing of sorts.

Looks like Ohio is getting it pretty good. Last round, we went over 400 upstate, NY, haze to the end of the road.

Definitely put some powerful strobes on your drone to make sure it doesn’t escape your VLOS

Canada planned the fires, air flow directions along with adding chemicals to destroy the U.S.
It's all the truth!!

Ypslinati, Michigan..... It's thick and low hanging. The smell is odd for sure but I can't put a label on it.

7:48 AM EST, went out for a sniff in the backyard and the stench from automobiles on the morning commute trumps the smoke from the fires. Hard to say what that smoke smells like given the area I live in.

How would you describe "chemical" smells: chlorine, bleach, rotten eggs, hydrogen sulfide, petroleum distillates, orange oil, sea water. "Chemical" is rather meaningless for an odor. Water is actually a chemical.

We Californians would like to welcome the rest of the United States to-----Fire Season. We have it here pretty much every year now everybody else has to deal with it.

It smells like a mix of faint chlorine and plastic.

A few years Ago , a Lithium Phantom Battery exploded in my garage, and the Smoke was thick black an went on for an hour until the shower of sparks faded. The smell of that incident lingered for 2 years in the garage and that Smoke from Canada did smelled a lot like that.

Many of us know about the Smoke in other states but no one mentions the Chemical smell which is far worse than the haze that comes with it.

I never expected it to come back... It smells like barbecue... But if you stay out here long enough you'll fell sick and lightheaded. I don't know why I was out here being as though I have asthma but it was already too late the moment I went up and seen this.
