The case involving black soot falling on areas of south Columbus and damaging the property of residents and the city was back in federal court this week. A hearing was held Monday in U.S. District Court in Montgomery, Ala., concerning allegations that Continental Carbon, a company that has operated in Phenix City since 1969, is causing the soot problem. The company manufactures carbon black material used in tires and other rubber and plastic goods.
