CleanerAirOregon- Overview
7
Report air toxicsCompanies to report use of 630+ pollutants to state regulators via EI
Regulate to reduce riskCompanies would have to act if the levels of air toxics they emit exceed health risk action levels (RALs)
Assess riskFacilities calculate potential health risks to people who live, work, and go to school nearby
