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.

These problems and loopholes may see little actual change in air quality over time.

Due to the expensive costs of radon removal from drinking water, the North Carolina Public Water Supply Section is considering the development of a multimedia radon mitigation program to focus on removing radon from indoor air.
