Stricter Standards and Tougher Enforcement

Sunshine: Accurate Accounting, Transparency, and Reporting of Pollution.

Stricter Standards and Tougher Enforcement.

Our work focuses on the following three key areas: Tackling emissions from these industries is necessary if we are going to have any hope of averting a climate disaster and achieving the United States’ carbon dioxide emission reduction goals in the coming decades.ĮIP strives to reduce toxic releases and greenhouse gas emissions from this industry through a mix of advocacy, regulatory work, and strategic litigation. Oil and gas production, processing, refineries, and petrochemical plants are also some of the largest sources of industrial greenhouse gases in the nation, behind only coal-fired power plants. Further, there is a clear link between the volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxide emissions released by oil and gas facilities and smog formation, the main culprit behind increased asthma in the young and elderly, associated hospitalizations, and missed days at school and work. The price of this pollution weighs most heavily on rural, low-income, and minority communities in the form of increased exposure to toxic chemicals and related health risks such as cancer, neurological disease, and many other serious health complications. The climate-changing effects from the industry’s substantial releases of methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide, and the environmental and human-health effects of the industry’s releases of toxic chemicals and wastes to our air, rivers, drinking water, and land.

There is no public data that details where EPA-approved chemicals have been used. "The EPA identified serious health risks associated with chemicals proposed for use in oil and gas extraction, and still allowed those chemicals to be used commercially," said researcher Dusty Horwitt, from Physicians for Social Responsibility.ĭocuments dating from the Obama administration have been heavily revised as the EPA allows companies to enforce trade-secret claims to keep basic information on new chemicals from public release.Īn identification number for one of the chemicals issued by the EPA appears to in separate EPA data And DuPont, first, identifies Chemours, as the depositor.Ī separate EPA document shows that a chemical with the same EPA-issued number was first imported for commercial use in November 2011.
