long before the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) informed him that there were times emissions from the smokestacks were higher than were legally allowed. According to EPA standards, Americans are not

over a year, which would suggest that if emissions were 16 micrograms for ten days and 9 micrograms for ten days, that would be an average of about 11 micrograms
