It used to be that companies had to file a special report if they caused more than 5oo pounds of toxic chemicals to be released in the air every year. Our EPA decided in January that we could not suffer problems if less than 2000 pounds were released in a year. Of course, the EPA did not follow its own rules in changing the number.
The question is - are we better off not knowing whether companies are emitting more than 500 pounds of toxic chemicals every year?
