EPA orders new smog soot reductions across 28 states
The Bush administration requires cuts in smog forming nitrogen oxides and soot producing sulfur dioxide across 28 states and DC. The move aims to improve air for downwind communities and could lift electricity bills by up to $1 monthly. By 2015 reductions reach 61 percent below 2003 nitrogen oxide levels and 5.4 million tons for sulfur dioxide with $4 billion annual costs and $85 billion in health benefits. Environmental Defense head Fred Krupp calls it the decade’s biggest step to curb plant pollution.
