The EPA is making a finding that the coal-fired Portland Generating Station (Portland), owned and operated by GenOn REMA LLC (GenOn), in Upper Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, is emitting air pollutants in violation of the interstate transport provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). Specifically, the EPA finds that emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO) from Portland significantly contribute to nonattainment and interfere with maintenance of the 1-hour SO national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in New Jersey. This finding is made in response to a petition submitted by the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) on September 17, 2010. In this action, the EPA is establishing emission limitations and compliance schedules to ensure th...
For sociologists who came in and studied us after the spill, Cordova became a case study of what happens when a whole community of people is traumatized. We had a massive increase in PTSD in Cordova, as well as general anxiety disorder, and, of course, this trickled down to the kids. We're very tight with the children here, and we have always taught them as a community, not just as individuals. Some of these kids own fishing boats when they're 15 and 16, and it's the same thing with the native people of this region, with an emphasis on subsistence harvesting, sharing and celebrating resources. We don't have ageism in Cordova, it's a very fluid sharing of life across the generations. What the Supreme Court did was to decide that a one-to-one ratio of compensatory damages was just punishm...

This notice announces the broadly applicable alternative test method approval decisions the EPA has made under and in support of New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 2011.
EPA is amending certain regulations to reflect the current delegation status of national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) in Nevada. Several NESHAP were delegated to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection on October 6, 2011. The purpose of this action is to update the listing in the Code of Federal Regulations.
On October 29, 2009, the EPA promulgated national emission standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants for nine area source categories in the chemical manufacturing sector: Agricultural Chemicals and Pesticides Manufacturing, Cyclic Crude and Intermediate Production, Industrial Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing, Industrial Organic Chemical Manufacturing, Inorganic Pigments Manufacturing, Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing, Plastic Materials and Resins Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical Production and Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing. Following that action, the Administrator received a petition for reconsideration. In response to the petition, the EPA is reconsidering and requesting comment on several provisions of the final rule. The EPA is also proposing certain revisions t...
She always cared about the quality of the air inside her home, but a year ago, when her son was born, Tiffany Whitney became downright vigilant. "We live in an old house," she says. "We definitely worry about it. Her husband brought home an air purifier. Then the couple purchased a carbon monoxide detector for their Murray home.
This action proposes amendments to the heat exchange system requirements of the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for petroleum refineries in response to a petition for reconsideration filed by the American Petroleum Institute on the maximum achievable control technology standards we promulgated on October 28, 2009. We also are creating national uniform standards for heat exchange systems, largely based on the heat exchange system provisions that we adopted for petroleum refineries, and accompanying general provisions. We are proposing to revise the existing Petroleum Refinery NESHAP to cross-reference the uniform standard to allow an alternative option for complying with the standards for heat exchange systems. The proposed uniform standards would allow ...
We've long considered toxins - like pollutants in the air and chemical additives in processed foods (Twinkies to Cheetos) - Major Agers, which is what we call things that make your body older faster. That's because when you overload your body with toxins, your liver goes into overdrive trying to filter out the gunk. Over time, excess wear and tear on its filtering system accelerates aging. So what can you do about the toxins in your life? Treat them the same way you treat toxic people (you know, the ones who drive you to eat that whole cherry cheesecake): Avoid 'em whenever you can. When you can't, help your liver dispose of the vandals. Here's how:
A coal-fired power plant just across the Delaware River in Pennsylvania has been spewing tons of pollutants into New Jersey's air for years while the state's own coal plants have been forced to clean up their emissions. Now, New Jersey's long battle to compel the plant to install cleaner technology may yield some results.
[William Sears] says pollutants in the air and water and in food all have the potential to harm your child's health. "So, while you're keeping them safe from environmental toxins, give them organic food that's free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Are organic foods really that much healthier?" asks Dr. Sears. "Yes," he answers. "I believe they're the best choice for kids."
