Ban Chemical Aerosols Polluting Our AirThere is a huge program now in progress to spray metal dust from high flying jets that settles on populated areas and causes extensive air pollution. It is being done nation wide and the materials used are toxic. The clouds of dust linger in the sky for many hours and settle into gray haze near the ground where we then must inhale the pollutants. This practice is outrageous and must be stopped.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Owen
