摘要

Judges on a key appellate court at oral arguments closely scrutinized industry's claims that EPA violated the Clean Air Act by setting pollutant-specific air toxics limits for medical waste incinerators, an approach that EPA is pursuing in other major pending air toxics rules including its contested emissions rules for boilers. The upcoming ruling by U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on the agency's so-called pollutant-by-pollutant approach in the medial waste litigation, which was argued Nov. 16, will be crucial to determining whether EPA can continue to take the same approach in a slew of pending standards for hazardous air pollutants. A ruling in the medical waste air toxics rule litigation in favor of EPA's approach could boost the agency's defense of a pollutant-by-pollutant method for setting its boiler air toxics standard. It would also be a win for environmentalists, who have won a string of rebukes from the court against air toxics rules that activists argued were too lax.
