Aluminum plants emitted staggering fluoride volumes downwind of Akwesasne

Evidence

In 1959, Reynolds established an aluminum plant one mile southwest of Akwesasne, and within a decade the facility was emitting fluorides into the atmosphere at a rate of 400 pounds per hour. In 1973, pollution control devices reduced this level of emissions to 75 pounds per hour, but the cost of the pollution was high. — Winona LaDuke, All Our Relations, 97
