Coal Burning

What do Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida have in common? They are at the top of the list of states that generate the most toxic gases and particulates from electric power plants. Over 65% of these states total air pollution come from electric sector pollution. Close to half of the total air pollution in the U.S. can be traced back to coal-burning electric power generation. Ohio's power plants alone generate 12% of this toxic pollution and 6% of mercury pollution within the U.S. We needs to continue to require air purification solutions with plant air purifiers to insure continued reductions in[...]

Put Your Air Purifiers On High!
They are at it again! Senators recently introduced amendments to the bill, SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011, labeled the Small Business Bill. Amendments designed to weaken the Clean Air Act and reduce or eliminate the responsibilities of the EPA in regulating carbon-producing industries. Get your air purifiers and air cleaners out and set them on HIGH because if passed, coal-burning facilities will not only continue to destroy the air we breathe, but with no EPA monitoring we will be unaware of increased toxic exposure levels.
The amendments are intended to limit or eliminate the EPA role[...]

Air Purifiers and New Facilities Have Long Lasting Economic Benefits
This year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPS) is expected to propose and finalize regulation to restrict emissions from coal-burning facilities. These air purifier regulations, when implemented, will drive vital emission improvements that will lead to improved air quality for many of northeastern US states. In recent months, the EPA, working closely with the Department of Justice (DOJ), has been going to court to force electric-generating coal-firing facilities to comply with the Clean Air Act. Coinciding with these actions, Congress Republicans have proposed regulations to remove any responsibility the EPA may think[...]

Insufficient Air Purifier Technology at Rush Island
Last week the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), through the Department of Justice (DOJ), filed a lawsuit against Ameren Missouri and their sulfur dioxide-emitting, coal powered utility at Rush Island. The EPA alleges that the plant emissions violate the Clean Air Act, excessively polluting air quality. The suit claims that a decade ago, Ameren performed modifications without obtaining required permits and did not install the most advanced air purifier technologies for controlling pollution emissions available at the time. As a result, Rush Island produces excess harmful sulfur dioxide emissions. In response, Ameren argues that a[...]

Consider The HealthMate Plus Air Purifier
Sulfur dioxide is still emitted in heavy concentrations for coal-burning power generating plants, thus  producing dangerous air quality contamination. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with the help of the Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to fight pollution in court to, at the very least, get coal-burning facilities to meet Clean Air Act standards. Although sulfur dioxide and the other emitted pollutants can be originated in one state, fallout of contaminations can drift in the air to surrounding states. Homes along the path of the pollutants can be exposed to harmful health risks. With emissions of[...]
