July 18, 2010 Garden plants affected and neighborhood plants? PROBLEM OR NOT?

Damaged Louisiana plants. I do NOT use pesticides. It is obvious that this damage has not been ongoing, because of the evidence of the newly damaged leaves. I personally started noticing this sort of "damage" to the leaves and chlorophyll about 3 weeks ago..and the more I look- the more I see. Does anyone know wht this could be. In this video there is a clip of leafminers...but if THIS is leafminers- my entire neighborhood has a problem. Coudl it have someting to do wtih the rain drying on the leaves becauase some look indeed "Burned". Any suggestions from other people are welcome.

I got the same white spots on my plants here in Iowa. I made a few videos showing the spots. Looks the same as your damage.

@commando602

spots or mold fungus"? Blight is a caused by air pollution.

the spots look fungal, the holes look like a bug problem

Santa Barbara, California has a severe problem with roadway dust that has transformed into an acidic sludge that is killing trees, shrubs, and flowers.

All levels of civil government have been advised of the obvious buildup of such toxic material. And these plants were still alive and green... now they are yellow, or covered with burn like lesions, or brittle and falling off branches even though they are still green with some vitality.

This is very tragic

We all know what this is. Atlanta GA is getting hammered by the Corexit/Oil toxic rain. We have only gotten one big rain since the oil spill and a lot of scattered showers. It looks like FALL in Ga and IT'S NOT!! We are in BIG trouble!!! Mankind has been on a mission to destroy itself and this time it succeeded!!!! I weep for the trees, the flowers, the bushes, and my CHILDREN! Save your money. You will HAVE to move if you love East of Texas.

Candice I left a message on your you tube channel - one other thought - it has been demonstrated in controlled experiments that exposure to ozone increases the incidence of insects, disease, fungus, and weather damage.

Gail in NJ google witsendnj blog for links to the science and photos from all over the US.
