EPA Official Sees Pollution of Waterways Worsening With More Than a Third Affected

摘要

More than a third of U.S. waterways are now polluted, and the situation is becoming worse, Nancy Stoner, acting assistant administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water, said May 1. The EPA in recent years has said that one-third of U.S. waterways were polluted. "But not anymore; we are losing ground," Stoner said without elaboration at a Boston meeting sponsored by Ceres, a nonprofit that works with businesses on sustainability issues.
