Industry's toxic chemicals declined
-- The Associated Press (Published February 21‚ 2008) WASHINGTON (AP) The Environmental Protection Agency says toxic chemical pollution from industry declined by about 2 percent in 2006 despite increases in releases by the mining and petroleum industries. Companies reported that more than 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals were released into the air, onto land, into waterways, injected deep into the ground or kept as waste on site. About one-third of the chemicals, or 1.4 billion pounds, were reported released into the air, a decline of 7 percent from 2005. The figures for 2006 are the latest available. |
