You live only a few miles from the Mon Valley which has three U.S. Steel facilities. The likely culprit is Clairton Works which is merely 5 miles east of you. They burn coal to make coke that is used to make steel. The burning of coal releases tons (literally) of sulfur dioxide which is what you're smelling.
