industry heavy places absorb the chemicals with the water, and it comes down in the rain. i lived in a big paper mill city, and the next city over, where the rain came down at, always had a very strong unpleasant odor when it rained or was about to.
lol we had same problem in the fox river, mercury contamination. though in recent years the river is mostly safe, but to my knowledge it still smells in kaukauna.
Does it effect local produce or wild plants? I mean, could you eat them without harm? I'm just curious because I've never experienced odd smelling rain. Hell, where I live we have kids who find running water and or nice smelling flowers and just put them in their mouths.

Things that live in/near the lake are all fucked up from the pollution, but everything else is okay. I have a veggie garden and we have farms here too without any issues
in my (childhood) area we just werent supposed to eat things from the river, although by the time i moved it was cleaned up enough that they were starting to say it was ok to eat fish there again.
that would be funnier if i had not been legitimately afraid of the kraken as a chid that i still skeev out when seaweed touches me. death to the kraken families!
At least you'll actually get INTO the water. I can't swim and to be completely honest, if anything touched me while in any body of water above knee deep, I could only hope the smell of urine deters them/it from murdering me. So basically, I'll joke about sea/lake stuff as long as I'm on dry land.
