Yes but they seem to take the brunt of the heat. I just looked out the 
window at the construction across the street, those machines are putting 
out some crud. Everytime I see a semi take off at a light. And on the 
beltline yeah the 1000 SUV's with a 90lb woman and no one else. Until next 
year they are still classified as trucks (farm equipment).

The mountains have been getting a lot blownin from WV and KY. But as for 
factories etc. Well they're not all in one place here they seem to be 
better hidden. Drive down Old Garner Rd. between Raleigh and Garner. Take 
a drive down 87 between Fayetteville and Wilmington. I love the smell 
of Pulp Mills inthe morning. There is plenty of pollution going on, it's 
just not blatant.
