NZ - Fertilizer plant fallout

Ravensdown's most recent compliance monitoring report showed a breach of the Ministry for the Environment's 24-hour fluoride guidelines for eco-systems. The report said this could lead to toxic effects in plants such as speckly, shrivelled and deformed leaves, and failure of fertilisation and fruit development.
Tricker said humans were less susceptible."People worry because they think it's affecting my plants and affecting my glass, but humans are a lot more resistant to it."
Dickson Crescent resident Les Wanhalla, who was expecting to have all but three of his windows replaced, said he was more concerned about the effects on his house – including aluminium and painted surfaces – than on his family's health.
"We've brought up three kids here. None of us seems to have respiratory troubles or anything like that," he said.
Wanhalla, 58, said he was very much aware of drift from the fertiliser plant.
"We certainly get it when the nor'wester blows. We don't have to fertilise our lawns," he said.
