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.
