Well, true enough, but I have a difficult time accepting that the  
concentration of H2S at the distance (was it a mile or so?) mentioned  
(and it would only be occasionally, according to whatever the wind  
direction happened to be) would eat away steel within a year.

I drive by these things all the time, and while you certainly don't  
want to be close downwind (that stuff is extremely toxic), I don't see  
anything being eaten up.
