Brief Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency released new regulations Wednesday which will force about 50 medical waste incinerators nationwide to reduce their air pollution. These new rules will decrease toxic pollution by 390,000 pounds annually through better monitering and the tightening of emissions limits.
Short Response:
I think it's very positive and good for the environment that these new regulations were made, although it will be very costly. The air pollution from these heavy metals and acid gases are very dangerous, and the more air pollution we can reduce at a time, the better off we will be.
