Although it acknowledges that air quality across the country has improved over the past decade due to stricter regulations, a report released yesterday by the New Jersey Environment Department has no fresh air for Mercer County residents.
A report released by the environmental protection organization yesterday said that the Greater Trenton area ranked second in the country due to poor air quality.
The report, prepared nationwide by the US environmental company, reviewed the haze pollution levels in 2010 and, based on the reports to the US, checked 2011 from the national ozone air quality monitoring networkS.
S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The ranking is based on the number of \"haze days\" or at 8-hour period.
Research shows that the Trenton area has 15 such days in 2010, along with the greater Cleveland area of Ohio and Fort Worth --
ARLINGTON, Texas
\"There are three main sources: power plants, industrial facilities and cars,\" said Meghan Fitpatrick, a New Jersey environmental spokesman . \".
\"All this has contributed to the formation of smog.
Poor air quality has led to an increase in the number of residents with respiratory diseases, she said.
According to the American Lung Association, there are more than 7,600 children with asthma in Mercer County, while more than 22,000 adults have asthma.
Critics have long pointed out that the coal producer Mercer power station
The thermal power plant on the Hamilton Duck Island is the main source of pollution in the area.
However, the plant owned by YPG recently completed the installation of a pollution control technology worth $0. 6 billion, which officials say reduces emissions of sulfur dioxide and mercury, nitrous nitrogen and soot were reduced by 90%.
The factory is one of several YPG facilities across the state to receive smogDamage upgrades.
\"YPG places a lot of emphasis on air quality, which is one of the reasons why we invest $1.
At our 3 billion stations in New Jersey, these stations have become one of the cleanest stations in the country, \"said Mike Jennings, a spokesman for the company.
Although the factory ranked third in a US report last yearS.
The Environmental Protection Agency, based on the total amount of pollutants discharged, said before the pollution control upgrade that they should do better in future emissions quality reports.
\"I don\'t doubt that we are a contributor, but our numbers will definitely drop a lot,\" Jennings added . \".
Jennings said the company is committed to strengthening clean air standards.
\"We are recognized as industry leaders on environmental issues and have been a major advocate for stricter federal air pollution regulations,\" he said . \".
Although there is no shortage of major roads in Mercer County
From Highway 1 to Highway 29, not to mention Interstate 95, 195, 295 and New Jersey toll roads --
Fitzpatrick says part of the air pollution may not even be produced at home.
She said some of them were blown in the air that moved east.
\"Our third pollution actually comes from outside the state,\" she said . \".
\"We found pollution due to air patterns inside and outside New Jersey.
\"Yesterday\'s report was based on data selected from the United States. S.
The Environmental Protection Agency, says Fitzpatrick.
Of the 20 largest smog areas in the United States, Camden and Philadelphia ranked eighth;
15 places in Monmouth and Ocean County;
There are 17 places in Middlesex, Somerset and Hunterton.
The worst place to record is the river-
San Bernardino, California, has 110 days of smog.
Overall, the national air quality has been improving in recent years, Fitzpatrick said, but he added that state and federal projects, including the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative launched by the government.
Chris Christie has recently withdrawn from New Jersey, and the Clean Air Act is important to keep this trend going.
\"Although air quality has improved significantly over the past decade due to state and federal-level policies, there is still a lot of work to be done, the report reads: \"Since millions of people live in metropolitan areas across the country each summer, when the air is unhealthy, they are exposed to multiple days of air. \".
The organization recommends lowering ground air quality standards
Ozone levels are between 60 and 70 per billion.
