Mosquito sprayer a nuisance

TO THE EDITOR:

I am a senior citizen of 75 plus and holding. Like a lot of senior citizens, I have a lot of health problems, one of which is a heart problem which can lead to breathing problems.

With the weather being as hot as it’s been, the best and sometimes only time for me to enjoy the outdoors is the late evening. That old spray mosquito truck makes it impossible to enjoy any fresh air outdoors and the lingering scent of kerosene for over an hour indoors is not too pleasant either. It can’t be healthy.

Some dogs are chained and have to sit through the smog. The air is so thick you can hardly see across the street.

I would much rather lather myself with mosquito repellent and take a chance of being bitten by a mosquito than to struggle to get myself inside before the spray reaches me.

My question is what can be done to stop this horrible pollution so I can breathe freely again?
