Manufacturers Sue EPA Over Sulfur Dioxide After Agency Denies Petition to Reconsider

摘要

A coalition of manufacturers sued the Environmental Protection Agency in a federal appellate court after the agency denied its petition to reconsider the health-based air quality standard for sulfur dioxide (National Environmental Development Assn's Clean Air Project v. EPA, D.C. Cir., No. 11-1073,3/10/11). The lawsuit filed March 10 by the National Environmental Development Association's Clean Air Project in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is likely to be consolidated with several other challenges to EPA's primary national ambient air quality standard for sulfur dioxide, Leslie Ritts, an attorney for the association, told BNA March 15.
