Abstract

The increasing use of aerial spraying for pest control and weather modification has raised significant concerns regarding public health and environmental safety. This paper reviews the potential risks associated with the application of pesticides, industrial chemicals, heavy metals, forever chemicals, and microplastics in urban and agricultural settings. We analyze the health implications of exposure to these substances, their environmental impact, and the regulatory landscape, particularly considering the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. We also discuss the FDA's responses to FOIA inquiries regarding the existence of viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, Monkeypox, and West Nile virus. By synthesizing current literature, this review aims to inform policymakers and the public about the urgent need for transparency, regulation, and community engagement in addressing these pressing issues.
