EPA May Drop Lead Air Pollution Limits
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. . . .Soon after lead was listed as an air pollutant 30 years ago, the Carter administration began removing lead from gasoline. Other big sources of lead in the atmosphere are from solid waste, coal, oil, iron and steel production, lead smelters and tobacco smoke.

Waxman (D-Calif.) is pushing to ban smoking in the ornate Speaker's Lobby, a room just off the House floor that is regularly clouded with smoke when Congress is in session. It is one of many venues legislators continue to reserve for lighting up in the Capitol -- despite the proven benefits of smoking bans in workplaces across the country. . . .Mr. Waxman's ban would make workdays much healthier for the staffers, pages and reporters who don't have much choice about congregating there, as well as for members themselves.
