Description

Power plants emit pollutants have been linked to negative health effects. In 2003, 2 new power plants began operations 3 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border near Imperial County (IC), CA. Although these plants export most of the elec. they produce to the U.S., they are not required to meet any U.S. or CA emission standards. This report determines: (1) how emissions from the 2 plants compare with emissions from recently permitted plants in CA & emissions from sources in IC, & what emissions standards they would be subject to if they were located in IC; (2) the health impacts of emissions from the plants on IC residents; & (3) options avail. to U.S. policymakers to ensure that emissions from these plants do not adversely affect the health of IC residents.
