Mining and power plants drive most toxic releases in 1998
The EPA says hard rock mining firms and electric utilities produced about 66 percent of 7.3 billion pounds of toxic chemicals released in 1998. Expansion to include mining and utilities shifted leading states from Texas to Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Alaska, while Texas still emits heavily. The report drew political responses amid the Bush Gore contest. A separate section notes NAEP tests should not be used for high stakes school decisions, despite calls to tie funding to scores.
