The article reports on the rule issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that will set limits on emissions of hazardous air pollutants from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production facilities. EPA states that the equipment that controls vinyl chloride will also get rid of hazardous air pollutants. Moreover, it notes that environmental groups filed a legal action against EPA for not specifying the limits to other toxic air pollutants from the PVC plants.
