Smoke 'chokes crops'

Ravensdown's application to continue discharging contaminants into the air from the fertiliser and sulphuric acid plant at Awatoto for the next 20 years should be declined, say opponents.
Emissions from the plant are damaging crops and affecting businesses, and they are not selective in inflicting damage, they say. The resource-consent hearing, which starts Monday, is expected to last four days.
In its submission to the Hawke's Bay Regional Council, Growers Group HB Incorporated supplied pictures taken between the 2003-06 seasons showing the effects of fluoride and acid deposits on properties within 3km of the plant.
I bet they still want to put it into it in their water
