Connecticut Takes on Wood Furnaces [1]

"For years, the advocacy group Environment and Human Health Inc. has led the battle against outdoor wood furnaces, claiming their smoke is bad to breathe. Now it has an ally -- Attorney General George Jepsen."



"The Attorney General's Office has joined with five other states -- Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and Vermont -- and the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency in Washington to push the federal Environmental Protection Agency to write new regulations governing these furnaces."

Robert Miller reports for the Danbury News Times September 2, 2013. [2]
