[link to en.wikipedia.org] "In World War II, white phosphorus mortar bombs, shells, rockets and grenades were used extensively by American, Commonwealth, and to a lesser extent Japanese forces, in both smoke-generating and antipersonnel roles." |

This is in Louisville, KY and it's currently snowing. I searched the net, but couldn't find any info on what the smell means. Decided to come here and search on GLP and found this thread... Does anyone know what could be causing the smell of phosphorous here? It's quite strong. Thanks. |

I've always heard that burning sulfur smells like burning matchsticks, I've not heard of phosphorus described that way. Idk what could be causing the smell, except maybe air pollution. |
