Federal Appeals Court Upholds EPA Rule on Hexavalent Chromium [1]

"The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule on emissions of certain toxic air pollutants at manufacturing plants.

The EPA’s 2012 rule was challenged by both the industry, which said it was too stringent, and environmental groups, which argued it didn’t go far enough.

But the Circuit Court upheld the rule and said the EPA took the steps necessary to justify it on both counts."
