Report: Louisiana regulators slow on southwest air pollution violations

Original: Louisiana regulators slow to address air pollution violations in state's southwest, report says

A new report says Louisiana environmental regulators have been slow to address air pollution violations in the state's southwest region, an area home to heavy industrial activity. The findings raise questions about enforcement of air quality rules and the health impact on nearby communities, and are drawing attention from residents and environmental advocates concerned about pollution oversight in the state.

Why now: The report's findings about weak regulatory enforcement of air pollution violations are newly public.
