It would have to be an awful lot of Aluminium to have any effect.

When I wrote about all those “evil” chemicals I didn’t think you’d take it seriously,gless, of course, because water standards are for soluble forms of metals.
BHT is a food additive and a fuel additive.
It would be good to see the actual analyses to make sure that the results haven’t been misinterpreted. “Five times the limit” is not specific as we don’t know if they are talking about dust in air or Aluminum in water.

So you've never seen a red sun at sunset/sunrise? wow.

Golly, gee whiz, Mr. Science, your panties are really in a knot even though your haircut is spiffy. You need help with anger management. Let’s start with the first things you think you know that may be a bit fuzzy for you. Phage has already discussed chemical foggers so your other comments will be addressed.

You win....you can pee farther than pteridine.
Nice essay, but I'm not clear what the abridged history of DDT and its delivery methods have to do with the topic of this thread.

Not sure what chemical gives the red color though
Clouds form when relatively warm air containing water vapor is lighter than its surrounding air and this causes it to rise. As it rises it cools and the vapor condenses out of the air as micro-droplets. These tiny particles of water are relatively densely packed and sunlight cannot penetrate far into the cloud before it is reflected out, giving a cloud its characteristic white color.
As a cloud matures, the droplets may combine to produce larger droplets, which may combine to form droplets large enough to fall as rain. In this process of accumulation, the space between droplets becomes larger and larger, permitting light to penetrate much farther into the cloud. If the cloud is sufficiently large and the droplets within are spaced far enough apart, it may be that a percentage of the light which enters the cloud is not reflected back out before it is absorbed.
......
Red, orange and pink clouds occur almost entirely at sunrise/sunset and are the result of the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere. The clouds are not that color; they are reflecting the long (and unscattered) rays of sunlight which are predominant at those hours. The effect is much the same as if one were to shine a red spotlight on a white sheet. In combination with large, mature thunderheads this can produce blood-red clouds.

the effective capabilities of chemical dispersal via engine exhaust, specifically to this thread, aircraft.
the Eagles and Condors seemed to be effected to a much greater degree than could be explained away in the food chain scenerio.

Maybe, I guess....if we were talking about internal combustion engines, like Briggs & Strattons. But we're not, so the specificity is lost somewhere.
