Anita Perry said the shudders and smells from the Finkl Steel factory have been a problem for her since the company moved in down the street from her home in Burnside. 

She wasn’t happy when she found out that Finkl had submitted an application to the Illinois EPA to add three more furnaces at its facility, at 1355 E. 93rd St. Perry was worried that it would create more health and wellness concerns.
