摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency announced proposed rules March 16 that would establish new limits on emissions of mercury, acid gases, and sulfur dioxide from new and existing power plants, a move environmental groups said would provide significant protection for public health. The proposed national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants for power plants would establish numeric, technology-based emissions limits on mercury, toxic metals, and acid gases.
