The state of Minnesota uses EPA’s ethylene oxide emissions standards, which haven’t been updated since 2006. You can compare this to ozone which has a half-life on the order of minutes, and some PFAS chemicals that have a half-life in air on the order of several years. And, as I’ll try to show, these two subjects have a lot in common.

I am focusing on what are called the primary standards, which are health-based, and on two key pollutants, particulates and ozone, which have the greatest current importance.

µm in diameter, which include our black carbon particles of interest, have been shown to be particularly problematic because they can penetrate deep into the lungs and blood stream and cause cardiovascular and respiratory disease (Pope and Dockery, 2006; Brook et al., AMAP Assessment 2015: Black Carbon and Ozone as Arctic Climate Forcers.”

Our air monitors measure black carbon, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and other specific site pollutants. It is important for people to recognize that, from 2006 to 2014, the richest 20 percent of our country have received about $10.8 billion of those benefits.

The plaintiffs in lawsuits challenging the cap-and-trade program had argued that it was not authorized by the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 and that the requirement to purchase emissions allowances constituted a tax that required approval by a two-thirds majority of the State legislature.

Bush’s words from his January 2006 State of The Union message, “America is addicted to oil.” This is to say nothing of the other respiratory illnesses caused or exacerbated by smog (ozone), another dangerous byproduct of fossil fuels, or the risks borne by the 310,896 PA kids who attend school within a half mile of an oil and gas facility.
