Federal Appeals Court Upholds EPA Rule Targeting Cancer-Causing Emissions from Chemical Plants, Rejects Industry Lawsuit.

A federal appeals court has rejected a lawsuit by petrochemical manufacturers against an EPA rule that targets cancer-causing emissions from chemical plants. The court stated that the companies failed to support EPA’s assessment that ethylene oxide emissions pose an unacceptable risk to public health. The decision was made unanimously by Judge Brad Garcia, a Biden appointee, who denied the petitions for review. The rule will be implemented by 2020 to control emissions from industrial chemical manufacturing facilities.
