The rule will significantly reduce emissions from the Denka Performance Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana. The facility is the largest producer of chloroprene emissions in the U.S., according to EPA Administrator Michael Regan. Every community in this country deserves to breathe clean air. Thatโ€™s why I took the Journey to Justice tour to communities like St. John the Baptist Parish, where residents have borne the brunt of toxic air for far too long, Michael Regan, EPA Administrator, via 'The Independent'. We promised to listen to folks that are suffering from pollution and act to protect them. Today we deliver on that promise with strong final standards to slash pollution, reduce cancer risk and ensure cleaner air for nearby communities, Michael Regan, EPA Administrator, via 'The Independent'. According to officials, the changes are meant to reduce ethylene oxide and chloroprene emissions in the U.S. by nearly 80%.
