makes me wonder about the benzene output from Suncoke. who is measuring it? how is it reported?
  benzene is nasty stuff - colorless, odorless but you can bet if you're smelling coke gas, you're breathing it.

I will never trust the numbers that the EPA gives out. Take a trip up to Furnace City and see what the people up there has been putting up with. Hell go down to Amanda Elementary and see the stuff that is laying on the play ground equipment that is there.Some out in this crazy world believe there is no harm but If you do research you will find out different.
