Bush EPA May Drop Lead Air Pollution Limits
by John Heilprin

The Bush administration is considering doing away with health standards that cut lead from gasoline, widely regarded as one of the nation's biggest clean-air accomplishments.

Battery makers, lead smelters, refiners all have lobbied the administration to do away with the Clean Air Act limits.

A preliminary staff review released by the Environmental Protection Agency this week acknowledged the possibility of dropping the health standards for lead air pollution. The agency says revoking those standards might be justified "given the significantly changed circumstances since lead was listed in 1976" as an air pollutant.

* What part of this don't you understand? You owe the thread an apology for lying three posts in a row about the Bush pro-lead gas movement. It clearly says Bushies are considering doing away with EPA standards on lead poison in our gas.
And you support this nonsense.
