U.S. Air Monitors Routinely Miss Pollution

Special Report: U.S. air monitors routinely miss pollution – even refinery explosions
When explosions ripped through a Philadelphia oil refinery last year, the shock waves knocked Felicia Menna’s front door frame out of place. Then came the black smoke.

“The government network of 3,900 monitoring devices nationwide has routinely missed major toxic releases and day-to-day pollution dangers, the data show. The network, for example, identified no risks from 10 of the biggest refinery explosions over the past decade, the Reuters review of EPA data shows, even as thousands of people were hospitalized and the refineries reported toxic emissions to regulators.”

Some people say regulations costs too many jobs and hurt the economy. Those people probably don’t live close to areas that generate high pollution levels. We need more funding for environmental regulations, not less.
