Toxics Update

摘要

The chemical industry has received a pat on the back from government regulators. Not bad, especially because the industry typically hears from regulators when it's time to carry out inspections or levy fines. The good news: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said the release of toxic chemicals into the nation's environment has decreased by 224 million pounds or 6.5% since 1991 and 35% since 1988.
