Mercury Blues
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 12.10.2003
In a surprise announcement last week, the Bush Administration unveiled a plan to implement a sweeping new air quality regime. It is aimed at reducing the emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) through a system of tradeable emissions permits. Once fully implemented in 30 eastern states, the system will enable 90 percent of eastern regions currently out of compliance with the new ozone and particulate standards to reach compliance over the next decade. The measure will also reduce mercury emissions from power plants, and therein lies a tale.
