• Breathe Easier

The valley's seven major industrial sources pumped 8,118 tons of sulfur dioxide into the air in 2008, a 10 percent reduction from the year before. [...] for the first time, the ConocoPhillips refinery became the valleys smallest source--emitting only 108 tons of sulfur dioxide--while processing a record amount of crude oil. Last year, the plant produced 30 percent of the valley's pollution, which includes sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds.

• Groups Appeal Mingo Coal-to-Liquids Permit

Among other questions, the appellants are asking the board to determine whether the TransGas facility has the potential to emit greater than 100 tons per year of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter. nitrogen oxides and/or volatile organic compounds and should therefore be issued a "major source" rather than a "minor source" permit.

• Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; West Virginia; Amendments to West Virginia's Ambient Air Quality Standards

EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of West Virginia (West Virginia). This revision pertains to amendments of West Virginia's Legislative Rule regarding ambient air quality standards (45CSR8- Ambient Air Quality Standards). These amendments incorporate by reference the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and lead. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).

• Zambonis Clear the Ice, Then Rinks Clear the Air

Managers of several North Jersey indoor ice rinks say they have enough safeguards in place to ensure that skaters don't get sick from emissions from Zambonis and other ice-resurfacing machines like the entire hockey team that fell ill recently at a Rhode Island arena. The Fritz Dietl Ice Rink in Westwood recently installed a new exhaust system, including one in the room that houses its Zamboni. Floyd Hall Arena in Little Falls has nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the facility. The Ice House in Hackensack constantly pumps outdoor air into its rinks. And the Ice Vault Arena in Wayne has its two Zambonis tuned up at least twice a year.

• Exxon Mobil Sues Latrobe Company for Faulty Nozzles

Exxon Mobil Corp. claims in a federal lawsuit filed today in Pittsburgh that a Latrobe company botched the construction of five nozzles whose failure permanently damaged the pollution controls for its Baton Rouge Refinery, the second-largest oil refinery in the United States. The Texas-based company claims Reparex Fabricated Systems Inc. used duct tape and wooden shims to assemble the components of the high-velocity nozzles that are used in a wet gas scrubber that removes sulfur dioxide and particulate matter from the refinery`s flue gas. The catastrophic failure of those nozzles damaged the scrubber as well as the two furnaces used to remove carbon monoxide and nitrogen compounds, the lawsuit says.

• Ways to Breathe Better On Hot, Hazy, Humid Days

These lazy, hazy days of summer strain more than power-grid managers. The three Hs - heat, haze, humidity - make it crazy-hard for many folks to breathe: the very young or old (especially those with heart or lung problems) and anyone with allergies or asthma. Get proactive. Our simple tips can help prevent trouble before it starts: * Check your AQI. The Air Quality Index (part of most newspaper and TV weather reports) measures five sneezy pollutants that can leave you wheezing: ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. The AQI runs from 0 to 500. Up to 50 is good, up to 100 is OK. After 150, things plummet from bad to worse; hope you don't see 300 to 500. The higher your AQI, the smarter it is to stay indoors with the AC running; it filters your air.

• $30.7m in Transit Funding Announced

With this $16 million in Transit Capital investment, NYSDOT now has made a total of $142 million in grants available to urban transit agencies throughout the Empire State. To date, the program has helped fund approximately 225 new clean-fuel buses across New York State and supported numerous infrastructure improvements, such as upgrades to bus garages and terminals, heating and air conditioning improvements and replacement of fuel storage tanks. Use of clean-fuel bus technologies results in lower emissions of oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter, which are sources of local pollution, and reduces carbon dioxide, a green house gas. Hybrid-electric buses are about 30 percent more efficient than those fuelled with diesel. Each hybrid-electric bus reduces ...
