Abstract:
Last February, the state Environmental Management Commission adopted regulations to control 105 toxic air pollutants. This should reduce our exposure to toxic chemicals through air pollution. However, the state lacks money to implement the protection program and rules allow businesses to petition and avoid compliance. These problems and loopholes may see little actual change in air quality over time.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission voted not to proceed to public hearings with a recommendation to weaken the state’s instream limit on dioxin. Dioxin is a by-product of chlorine bleaching which has caused cancer and reproductive abnormalities in laboratory animals. The vote came in response to a request by paper companies, which contend that new information indicates the cancer potency of dioxin is not as great as previously thought, and that they still cannot meet the effluent limitations the state standard imposes.
