EPA mandates monitoring of toxic emissions from municipal waste incinerators

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • The EPA has announced a new requirement for municipal waste incinerators to monitor emissions of hazardous pollutants, a significant move to combat local air pollution.
  • This rule will affect approximately 60 facilities nationwide, addressing around 800 chemicals linked to various health risks, including cancer.
  • Environmental groups have praised the decision, highlighting that incinerators disproportionally impact low-income communities and communities of color.
  • The new monitoring aims to ensure transparency and help inform local residents and regulators about air quality and pollution levels.
  • While the EPA's actions have been welcomed, fierce industry opposition is expected, especially with potential regulatory changes under a new administration.
