The Trial of Hazardous Air Pollution Regulation
Editors' Summary: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has long been embroiled in controversy over its regulation of hazardous air pollutants under §112 of the Clean Air Act. The Act requires rapid, stringent regulation of pollutants EPA lists as hazardous, but leaves it to EPA to decide what to list. In the 16 years since §112's enactment, EPA has listed only a handful of pollutants and been slow to regulate those it has listed.
