Paper mills like in Ticonderoga, NY or Rumford, ME.

I've heard murmurs of how gnarly paper mills smell, but how would you describe it personally? Paper doesn't intuitively seem like something that would smell like shit

Paper mills smell like hydrogen sulfide - rotten eggs. It's a byproduct of the pulping process. It's bad, but some of the smells described here sound much worse. Source: the town I live in used to have an operating paper mill.
