NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – The Environmental Protection
Agency will not be slapping New Hanover County with a non-attainment status for
sulfur dioxide.
A recent letter from the EPA's regional administrator let
local leaders know that recorded levels of SO2 in New Hanover County do not exceed
the maximum amount allowed.
In fact, all monitored levels throughout the state are below
the max limit, according to a message from the NC DENR's Division of Air
Quality to local leaders.
Sulfur dioxide is monitored as a consideration of air
quality in a specific area.
