Bill overview
This bill aims to protect communities near petroleum refineries from hydrogen cyanide pollution by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a specific emission limit and implement monitoring systems. It mandates real-time air monitoring at refineries, public reporting of emissions data, and a community alert system for residents potentially exposed. The EPA must also consider the best available science and prioritize public health, particularly for vulnerable populations, when setting these regulations.
