The Government has indemnified Agriquality Ltd, the private company which is spraying Aucklanders with pesticide, against any claim arising from this activity.

A Fact a Day about aerial spraying is circulated to international & national media, national & local politicians and tangata whenua.

The digest of previous weeks - A Fact a Day - can be found at http://www.geocities.com/no_spray

The Weeks Digest: 23rd - 28th February

* One of the ingredients of the spray is benzoic acid. There is no known safe level for inhalation of this chemical

* The Health Risk Assessment, on which the government relies for stating that Foray48B is safe, investigated the ingredients of the spray only for their effects when ingested or in contact with the skin - but not when inhaled.

STOP AERIAL SPRAYING
