Groups and Jefferson County Board of Health file consent decree to stop north Birmingham air pollution

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In an unprecedented step to improve air quality for Birmingham residents, GASP, the Southern Environmental Law Center, and the Jefferson County Department of Health filed a consent decree outlining penalties and new monitoring requirements for Bluestone Coke, a polluting facility that has impacted the health and quality of life for predominantly Black neighborhoods for years. 

The decree was signed by all three parties and submitted to a Jefferson County circuit court for approval today. As part of the terms, Bluestone will pay a $925,000 penalty to the Jefferson County Department of Health — the largest fine issued in the agency’s 105-year history. 

“Residents of Harriman Park, Fairmont, and Collegeville have been exposed unjustly to toxic and visible air pollution for far too long. This agreement will finally give community members a chance to breathe easier and an opportunity to weigh in on how this penalty should be spent,” said GASP Executive Director Michael Hansen. “This consent decree makes it clear that companies like Bluestone Coke cannot continue to pollute without consequences, and that starts with standards that put people — not profits — first.”

“After years of violating its air pollution permit, Bluestone Coke must be held accountable for its actions,” said Sarah Stokes, a senior attorney in the Southern Environmental Law Center’s Alabama office. “We commend the community members of Harriman Park, Fairmont, and Collegeville for bravely standing up for the right to breathe clean air and demanding a better quality of life for their families.”

Half of the nearly $1 million penalty fee will go to the Sustainable Residential-Industrial Buffers Fund to be spent on green spaces, the removal of blighted property, and other environmental improvement projects in the communities adjacent to Bluestone’s plant, including Collegeville, Harriman Park, and Fairmont. The public will have an opportunity to weigh in on funding decisions for specific projects at a public hearing as well as through a comment period.

These measures follow years of citations from the Jefferson County Department of Health for serious violations of Bluestone’s permit — including hazardous emissions from leaking coke ovens at the plant. In 2019 and 2020, ambient air samples GASP and SELC collected around the Bluestone Coke plant showed elevated levels of benzene and naphthalene, two toxic air pollutants associated with coking.

The plant is currently idled. Per the consent decree, if and when Bluestone attempts to reopen, two monitors would have to be installed on the fence line to monitor sulfur dioxide, an irritant toxic to the human respiratory system, for five years. The fence line of Bluestone’s property is a confirmed sulfur dioxide hotspot based on Environmental Protection Agency modeling. 

Bluestone would also be required to submit more rigorous documentation of compliance in its permit application, including a Corrective Action Plan written by a licensed engineer, which would also be subject to public comment. Additionally, Bluestone would have to hire an independent auditor to ensure bimonthly compliance at the plant for two years.

The consent decree also states that GASP will have the power to enforce the terms if Bluestone violates the agreement and requires any potential future purchaser of the plant to comply with the requirements.

EAST SIDE — Five Southeast Siders are campaigning to replace the first woman to represent the 10th Ward in City Council as she prepares to step down next year after two terms.

Ald. Susan Sadlowski Garza was elected 10th Ward alderperson in 2015, when she forced longtime Ald. John Pope into a runoff and won by only 20 votes. She became the first Chicago Teachers Union member elected to City Council.

Sadlowski Garza easily won reelection in 2019, defeating her only challenger, Bobby Loncar, with 68.6 percent of the vote. She announced in September she would not seek a third term, saying it’s time for her to step back from being an elected official and “take care of my family and myself.”

The 10th Ward — which covers East Side and Hegewisch and parts of South Chicago, South Deering and Riverdale — is a focal point of activism as its residents fight to address environmental inequities and the impacts of deindustrialization.

The election is Feb. 28. If no one candidate receives at least 50 percent of the vote, the top two finishers will go to a runoff April 4.

Here’s a look at the aldermanic hopefuls:

Óscar Sanchez

Sanchez, an environmental activist and youth organizer, announced he would challenge Sadlowski Garza before she decided not to run for reelection.

The East Side resident is running on a platform that centers “clean air, equitable education, walkable and accessible communities, affordable housing, sustainable and resilient workforce development and collective community safety,” he told Block Club.

Sanchez participated in a hunger strike in February and March 2021 as part of a successful campaign demanding the city’s health department deny a permit for North Side metal scrapper General Iron to move its operations to Southside Recycling at 116th Street and Burley Avenue.

It’s time to “enforce what environmental justice is” through an ordinance to address the cumulative impact of pollution on Chicago’s neighborhoods and reparations for residents affected by decades of health inequities, Sanchez said.

Ana Guajardo

Guajardo announced her City Council bid in September with the backing of mayoral candidate Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García, two days after Sadlowski Garza announced she would not seek reelection.

The South Deering resident has called for equal funding for Chicago schools, “fair property taxes,” upgraded infrastructure, “modern institutions” like parks and libraries, and environmental and social justice during the campaign.

Guajardo co-founded the Centro de Trabajadores Unidos or the United Workers’ Center in East Side, an organization that advocates for immigrant workers’ rights and needs.

Guajardo served in the Army National Guard and is a doctoral candidate. Her parents settled on the South Side as undocumented immigrants and received amnesty from the federal government, while her father worked in the Southeast Side’s steel mills, she said.

Peter Chico

Chico supports economic development, an increased police presence, increased funding for education and a streamlining of city services as he runs for the 10th Ward seat, according to his campaign website.

A resident of Hegewisch, Chico is a police officer working in the South Chicago (4th) District. He’s also a community representative on George Washington High School’s local school council.

Chico received his master’s in public service from DePaul University. He’s the grandson of John Chico, a former South Works steelworker who was an early supporter of Ed Sadlowski, a labor activist and Sadlowski Garza’s father.

Venegas is a police officer who has worked in several districts and an attorney with a private practice in family law.

Her platform calls for more police; more funding for education, mental health and behavioral services; and economic and environmental policies, according to her campaign website.

The East Sider graduated from George Washington High School and received degrees from DePaul University and the University of Illinois Chicago’s law school. She also founded the nonprofit Tia and Gramma Organization, which aims to open a community center in South Deering.

Yessenia Carreón

Public safety, educational funding, infrastructure and economic development are among Carreón’s priorities if elected, according to her campaign website.

She’s an “an advocate for local artists” who helped organize summer festivals as chief operating officer of local media outlet ONT and helped secure funding for Roman Villarreal’s sculpture in Steelworkers Park, she said.

Carreón served as a staffer in Pope’s office from 2006 until the alderperson’s 2015 election loss to Sadlowski Garza. She campaigned for 10th Ward alderperson in 2019, but was booted from the ballot after a challenge to her nominating petitions.

The lingering impact of smoke and soot is complicating insurers’ efforts to resolve homeowners claims from the Marshall Fire, which destroyed 1,084 homes in Boulder County, Colorado last December.

An in-depth report posted online this week by the nonprofit Boulder Reporting Lab told the story of “standing home survivors,” homeowners who did not suffer fire damage but have not returned to their homes because of concern about toxic particulates left behind from wildfire smoke. A county official told the Reporting Lab that 13,000 to 14,000 houses within the burn area were not destroyed, giving an indication of the potential extent of smoke damage.

The Marshall Fire ripped through 6,000 acres in the communities of Superior, Louisville and Marshall outside of Boulder on Dec. 30, 2021. Catastrophe modeler Karen Clark & Co. estimated insured loss amounted to $1 billion.

Amy Bach, executive director of United Policyholders, said that about 600 standing home survivors are sharing information on Facebook or attending weekly support group meetings held at the Louisville Recreation Center, according to the report.

Bach told the Reporting Lab that a lack of standards for indoor air quality is exacerbating disputes and delays for homeowners who filed insurance claims. Homeowners are left feeling like the process is arbitrary and up to individual adjusters, the report says.

Researchers with Colorado University Boulder measured the air quality in standing homes within the fire area within two to three weeks of the fire. Joost de Gouw, a chemist with the university, said samples showed that volatile organic compounds, including toxic chemicals such as benzene and formaldehyde, lingered in the houses up to four weeks after the fire.

But researchers are also concerned about particulates that settled on surfaces. They told the Reporting Lab that those particles can release gaseous compounds over time. CU Professor Colleen Reid said researchers don’t know how concentrated those emissions are, or how long they will last.

As a result, many standing home survivors are choosing to stay out of their homes, the report says.

The quality of work by remediation companies hired to clean smoke-damaged homes varies greatly, according to the owner of an environmental testing firm in Lafayette, Colorado. Judith Sawitsky, co-owner of Weecycle Environmental Consulting, said her company tested 75 to 80 smoke-damaged homes after the Marshall Fire.

Sawistsky told the Claims Journal Thursday that she found most local remediation companies did a good job, but many of the out-of-town vendors that swarmed in after the disaster did not. She said a large portion of the homes that her company tested after cleanup “were inadequately cleaned.”

Frequently, soot was left clinging in corners, Sawistsky said. Also, some homeowners are sensitive to the chemicals that restoration companies useto remove odors.

Sawitsky said she often has to butt heads with industrial hygienists appointed by insurance carriers.

“The pushback from some of the insurance companies is unwarranted, is my feeling about it,” she said. “If you have something that is not right and your client is getting sick and the property isn’t back to its pre-loss condition, there shouldn’t be any pushback.”

Chip Merlin, owner of a law firm that represented policyholders headquartered in Tampa, Florida, chimed in to voice his support for the “standing home survivors” in a blog post on Thursday. He noted that he had previously written a blog post about insurers giving the runaround to homeowners with smoke damage claims after the Marshall Fire.

“It does not take a genius to figure out that some insurers want to remediate less and pay less, while the policyholder customers want assurance that their homes are safe to return, which will cost more,” Merlin wrote.

The EPA has initiated a new air quality program for the Northern Ute Tribe in northeast Utah. (Courtesy photo)

New plan adds regulations to oil and gas producers; Uinta Basin has exceeded air quality standards

The EPA has finalized an air quality plan for the Northern Ute Tribe in northeast Utah to regulate oil and gas field emissions.

The Federal Implementation Plan approved this month will require enforceable controls on the emissions from new, modified, and existing oil and gas facilities within the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, also known as the Northern Ute Tribe.

The Northern Utes are one of three Ute Indian reservation communities, along with the Southern Utes in southern Colorado, and Ute Mountain Utes in Southwest Colorado and southeast Utah.

EPA’s plan will address air quality in the Uinta Basin Ozone Nonattainment Area and support a streamlined approach for authorizing new oil and natural gas production on Indian Country lands within the Reservation, according to an EPA news release.

“EPA’s plan will protect air quality in northeast Utah communities while providing oil and gas producers with consistent pollution control requirements across the Uinta Basin,” said EPA Regional Administrator KC Becker, in the news release. “These efforts will ensure we make progress on reducing harmful pollution while allowing for the continued, responsible development of the Basin’s resources.”

Portions of northeast Utah have exceeded national air quality standards for ozone in recent years, according to the EPA.

Ozone is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds.

This happens when pollutants emitted by cars, power plants, oil and gas production sources, industrial boilers, refineries, chemical plants, and other sources chemically react in the presence of sunlight. Ozone can damage lungs and the respiratory system and aggravate diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.

The implementation plan will:

• Improve air quality by establishing emissions control requirements for oil and natural gas activities that contribute to high ozone concentrations in the Uinta Basin.

• Establish regulatory requirements that are the same or consistent between Indian Country and neighboring jurisdictions in the Basin.

• Secure air emissions reductions on the Indian Country lands within the Reservation to ensure that new development of oil and natural gas sources will not interfere with the attainment of national air quality standards for ground-level ozone and other air pollutants.

The control requirements in the plan will apply to various production sources, including storage vessels, natural gas dehydrators and pneumatic pumps, as well as truck loading and unloading operations.

It also requires the implementation of a semiannual leak detection and repair program at facilities that meet specific emissions or production thresholds. The plan focuses on controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds from affected facilities.

The EPA has jurisdiction to enforce the Clean Air Act in Indian Country, except for tribes who have negotiated agreements to implement its own program that complies with the act.

The new plan will apply more rigorous emissions controls, monitoring, and reporting requirements than current oil and gas rules implemented by the Utah Division of Air Quality on lands under Utah’s jurisdiction, according to a law article by Holland & Hart LLP. EPA forecasts compliance with the new regulatory plan will cost the industry more than a half-billion dollars.

The Northern Ute Indian Tribe’s Air Quality Department maintains nine air quality monitoring stations, in Redwash, Ouray, Mountain Home, Myton, Whiterocks and Fort Duchesne.

The Uintah and Ouray reservation is in northeastern Utah, at Fort Duchesne.

The reservation is within a three-county area known as the “Uintah Basin.” It is the second-largest reservation in the United States, at more than 4.5 million acres. It has a membership of 2,070, and more than half the members live on the reservation.

Did you know that with a single duct cleaning, the average home can lose up to six pounds of dust? A buildup of contaminants in your home’s air ducts and dryer vents can have a severe effect on the indoor air quality (IAQ).

Like heating and cooling systems, air ducts and dryer vents benefit from routine cleaning and maintenance to function at peak efficiency. If you want cleaner air in your London home, one of the finest things you can do is having the duct cleaning service London by a professional.

In order to prevent lint from building up in the dryer and preventing the dryer from releasing fluids, the dryer vent should be cleaned. If you clean your air ducts and dryer vents, the dust and dirt that have accumulated over time will be removed, and the airflow will be greatly improved. The need for laundry duct cleaning London has so grown critical.

Advantages of Scheduling Frequent Duct Cleaning

• When and why indoor air quality is poor is a mystery to most families. Despite your best efforts, air ducts can still harbour dust and other particles, regardless of how often you clean and vacuum. Poor indoor air quality is largely caused by these invisible irritants.
• The air in a home with central heating and cooling is constantly being recirculated. If you don’t have your ducts professionally cleaned regularly, allergens and irritants could be recirculated throughout your home, having a negative effect on the air quality within. Airborne dust, filth, and lint may be contaminating your house and endangering the health of you and your family.
• Dust and debris can build up in your duct system even if you do your best to keep the registers and filters clean. Laundry duct cleaning London professionals should clean your laundry ducts every three to five years.

The Benefits of Having Your Dryer Vent and Air Ducts Cleaned Regularly

• Having your air ducts cleaned by a professional is a great way to ensure that your home’s air quality remains high. The recirculation of allergens like pollen and pet dander can be prevented by keeping the ducts clean. Regular professional cleaning of your air ducts will lessen the quantity of dust and lint in your home, which in turn helps alleviate your allergy symptoms. Routinely cleaning your air ducts is an easy way to lessen the amount of dust and other particles floating around your home. Help is at hand if you seek out laundry duct cleaning service London.

• Your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning unit will function more efficiently if the air ducts are clean. When ducts get clogged up, the HVAC system has to work harder, consuming more energy. You’ll get the most out of your machinery if you keep the ducts clean. Just like with your HVAC system, cleaning the dryer’s vents can boost efficiency and prolong the life of your dryer. Your home’s energy efficiency and air quality will both benefit from regular cleaning of the ducts and vents.
• You may increase the lifespan of your machinery by decreasing the amount of wear and tear it experiences. Clogged air conditioning coils, contaminated blower wheels, and other problems caused by a poorly maintained ventilation system can lead to expensive maintenance needs. Cleaning your dryer’s vent and air ducts on a regular basis will extend the life of your dryer and heating and air conditioning unit. Because of the dryer’s increased efficiency, you won’t have to leave your clothes in the dryer for as long to dry.
• Get rid of any unpleasant odours that could be coming from your home’s ventilation system. Clogged air ducts due to the accumulation of lint, pet fur, cooking oils, and other debris may be the cause of unpleasant odours in the home. A fresh, clean air duct system can do wonders for the odour situation at home.
• For the sake of your family’s safety and comfort, hiring a duct cleaning service London is a wise decision. Keeping your dryer clean will reduce the risk of a fire in your house caused by lint buildup.

Dyson Zone: The Singaporean based multinational technology company Dyson on Thursday announced the launch of its Dyson Zone noise-cancelling headphones with air purification. The headphones also come with a lot of other features including, detachable air purifier, 50-hour battery life and full-spectrum audio support.

According to the company, the Dyson Zone noise cancelling headphones will be available in 2023 in select markets and the price of the device is yet to be announced. The company has said that the headphones will go on sale in China next month, while the US, UK, Hon Kong SAR and Singapore can buy this product in March 2023.

The Dyson Zone headphones provide a pure, immersive listening experience and on-the-go air purification, deliver up to 50 hours of ultra-low distortion1, advanced noise cancellation and faithful, full-spectrum audio reproduction. The Dyson Zone also captures 99 per cent of particle pollution as small as 0.1 microns, whilst K-Carbon, potassium-enriched carbon filters target prevalent acidic gases most associated with city pollution, including NO2 and SO2. 

The new Dyson headphones’ main highlight is a detachable visor for the wearer’s nose and mouth that doubles as an air purifier. This mechanism uses power from the headphones itself, which charges via USB Type-C and comes with a large battery. The company claims the headphones can reduce ambient sounds of up to 38dB, which the in-built microphones monitor 3,84,000 times every second.

With full-spectrum audio support, the Dyson headphones are also claimed to reproduce frequencies between 6Hz-21kHz, which is the complete audible sound spectrum for humans. Dyson also has a ultra-low distortion levels on the headphones along with EQ options, a comfortable design and clear voice for calls.

Dyson Zone incorporates an additional microphone for telephony, allowing phone calls, voice recording and voice control. The telephony microphone combines with the feed forward ANC microphone to provide dual microphone beamforming. Beamforming creates greater clarity of voice transmission by combining the signals from each microphone in a way that allows the system to reject noise from behind and to the sides of the wearer.

Stronger and concerted action is required across all areas of public policy to reduce air pollution and its impacts, England’s chief medical officer has urged.

In his annual report Chris Whitty said that while outdoor air pollution in England has reduced significantly since the 1980s it still poses significant health threats including increasing heart disease, stroke, lung disease, cancer, child lung development, and asthma, and kills an estimated 26 000 to 38 000 people a year in England.

The report said that indoor air pollution is becoming an increasing proportion of the overall problem as outdoor air pollution improves, and called for more focus on tackling it.

It said that some pollutants may enter …

Graphene and aerogel rank highly among materials considered the lightest and strongest on the planet, but they both pale in comparison to aerographene, or graphene-based aerogel. With a density of just 0.16 milligrams (mg) per cubic centimeter, aerographene is widely considered the world’s lightest material. 

What Is Aerographene?

As the name implies, aerographene is a mixture of graphene and aerogel. This extraordinary material is seven times lighter than air, can fully recover from more than 90% compression, and can absorb 900 times its weight in oil. 

It has emerged as the least dense material known to science and can be held by a single blade of grass while also being ten times stronger than steel. 

Discovering Aerographene 

In 2013, a group of scientists led by Gao Chao discovered aerographene at Zhejiang University. The team formally developed graphene-based materials, which were exclusively 1-D or 2-D compounds. They initially freeze-dried graphene oxide with carbon nanotube solutions and removed oxygen. The result was a three-dimensional material known as aerographene.

While still relatively new, the material is quickly gaining traction. 

Future Applications

Like most remarkable discoveries, aerographene might sound like a pipe dream that’s a long way off. But it boasts some fantastic applications.

Due to its exceptional qualities, this material can be utilized for a wide variety of purposes, including removing dyes and oils from water, in air purification as super-capacitors, in electrochemical power sources as electrodes, and water waste management.

Other applications also include:

• Collecting dust from the tails of comets,
• Acting as a high-performance additive to coating,
• Prevention of corrosion under insulation,
• And used in thermal breaks, imaging devices, light guides, optics, condensation control, sports and outdoor gear, and architectural lighting panels.

Aerographene is light, conductive, flexible, and soluble, making future applications endless.
