Top Polluter Identified!
Washington state's top polluter isn't a pulp mill, a power plant or refinery. It's the newly awakened Mount St. Helens. Since the volcano began erupting in early October, it has been pumping out 50 to 250 tons a day of sulfur dioxide, the lung-stinging gas that causes acid rain and contributes to haze. At peak, that's more than double the amount from all the state's industries combined.I truly wonder what the enviro-Nazis will do about this. Maybe if they ask it nicely and try to understand the root causes it'll stop erupting. Posted by: AzCat 2004-12-02 |
