Power plants emit pollutants have been linked to negative health effects. In 2003, 2 new power plants began operations 3 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border near Imperial County (IC), CA. Although these plants export most of the elec. they produce to the U.S., they are not required to meet any U.S. or CA emission standards. This report determines: (1) how emissions from the 2 plants compare with emissions from recently permitted plants in CA & emissions from sources in IC, & what emissions standards they would be subject to if they were located in IC; (2) the health impacts of emissions from the plants on IC residents; & (3) options avail. to U.S. policymakers to ensure that emissions from these plants do not adversely affect the health of IC residents.
The wide-ranging subjects addressed in this book will contribute to the public understanding of science in this important area.
The Clean Air Act established a pair of programsâ€"known as New Source Review (NSR)â€"that regulate large stationary sources of air pollution, such as factories and electricity-generating facilities. Congress then asked the National Research Council to estimate the effects of NSR rule changes made in 2002 and 2003 in terms of the effects on emissions and human health, and changes in operating efficiency (including energy efficiency), pollution prevention, and pollution-control activities. New Source Review for Stationary Sources of Air Pollution provides insights into the potential effects of the rule changes on national emissions from the electric power industry. Although this book focuses on the 2002 and 2003 rules, its analytic framework applies to other possible changes in NSR and to other regulatory contexts. Helpful, in that it outlines the data-collection efforts needed to assess the impact of the NSR rules, the book recommends EPA and other government agencies undertake and sustain the recommended methods.
