Hynix is asking L.R.A.P.A. (Lane regional air protection agency ) to modify their air release permit. This modification would allow Hynix to increase their release of HYDROGEN FLUORIDE from 1.8 tons/yr ( .41 # /hr. ) to 5 tons /yr (1.14 # /hr ).

This material is very harmful to flora, fauna, and humans (eyes, nose, and severe respiratory tract irritant). This material would accumulate in the area at an undetermined rate due to wide changes in climactic conditions.

I would ask that people get involved before it is too late.

Information on HF (hydrogen fluoride) is on the Internet.
