Description:
EPA Takes Aim at, US Chemical Emissions, That Are Likely Carcinogens.<br/>'The Independent' reports that over 200 chemical <br/>plants in the United States will be required <br/>to reduce toxic emissions under a new rule. .<br/>The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<br/>released the new rule regarding toxic <br/>emissions likely to cause cancer on April 9.<br/>The rule is meant to deliver critical health protections <br/>for communities faced with industrial pollution from <br/>dangerous chemicals, such as chloroprene and ethyl oxide.<br/>The rule will significantly reduce <br/>emissions from the Denka Performance <br/>Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana.<br/>The facility is the largest producer of <br/>chloroprene emissions in the U.S., according <br/>to EPA Administrator Michael Regan.<br/>Every community in this country <br/>deserves to breathe clean air. <br/>That’s why I took the Journey <br/>to Justice tour to communities <br/>like St. John the Baptist Parish, <br/>where residents have borne <br/>the brunt of toxic air for far too long, Michael Regan, EPA Administrator, via 'The Independent'.<br/>We promised to listen to folks that <br/>are suffering from pollution and act <br/>to protect them. Today we deliver <br/>on that promise with strong final <br/>standards to slash pollution, <br/>reduce cancer risk and ensure <br/>cleaner air for nearby communities, Michael Regan, EPA Administrator, via 'The Independent'.<br/>According to officials, the changes<br/>are meant to reduce ethylene oxide and <br/>chloroprene emissions in the U.S. by nearly 80%.<br/>'The Independent' reports that the rule updates <br/>several regulations on chemical plant emissions <br/>that have not been altered in nearly 20 years.<br/>The EPA said that the new rule will reduce a total of over <br/>6,200 tons of toxic air pollutants annually in an effort <br/>to address health risks in neighboring communities

_the-volkswagen-id-buzz-reimagines-a-vw-classic-as-a-first-of-its-kind-ev---forbes.webp "Not since the New Beetle debuted in 1998 has Volkswagen dipped so heavily into its iconic past to launch an all-new vehicle. With the new ID. Buzz poised to hit showroom floors later this year, VW Senior Product Planner Ryan Gavin gave Forbes a sneak peek at the 2024 New York International Auto Show. <br/><br/>Between its history-inspired body lines and optional two-tone paint schemes, the ID. Buzz will draw as much attention as modern exotic cars, and not just from aging Deadheads. While its exterior styling borrows heavily from the original VW Microbus, including the oversized “VW” front logo, rear roof pillar air vents, and boxy shape, the interior features an array of modern tech. Dual power-sliding doors and a power rear liftgate feature Volkswagen’s “Easy Open and Close” tech, meaning a simple swipe of your foot beneath the doors will cause them to open (assuming the keys are nearby).<br/><br/>Once inside passengers will find ambient lighting, an optional panoramic sunroof with electrochromic tinting (can go from clear to opaque at the touch of a button), and a standard 12.9-inch central touchscreen featuring wireless App-Connect technology and wireless device charging. Flexibility comes from a removable center console, a sliding second-row seat that also folds down or reclines, a removable third-row seat, and standard features like a heated steering wheel, heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, heated outboard second-row seats, and a nine-speak auto system (a 14-speaker Harman Kardon system is optional).<br/><br/>With its impressive standard equipment list, wide range of interior and exterior design options, and advanced technology, this electric van could have the same impact on Volkswagen’s brand as the 1998 New Beetle, meaning a flood of demand from both traditional and new VW customers, along with a level of cultural impact worthy of the ID. Buzz’ name.<br/><br/>Read more on Forbes:<br/>https://www.forbes.com/sites/kbrauer/2023/06/02/volkswagen-id-buzz-the-future-and-past-converge-in-vws-newest-ev/ <br/><br/>For more from Scotty Reiss:<br/>https://agirlsguidetocars.com/<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
