UMW seeks review of sulfur dioxide standards
United Mine Workers petitioned U.S. District Court to suspend all federal deadlines for sulfur dioxide limits, contesting the EPA standards as excessively stringent. Edward Bell, president of UMW District 6, says the rules have sharply reduced coal sales and caused job losses for about 16 000 miners in Ohio and nearby West Virginia. The suit notes the 1971 standards have not been revised despite a 1976 advisory panel calling them outdated.
