EPA proposes to find that greenhouse gases pose threat to public health, welfare

In a proposal that would pave the way for regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, the Environmental Protection Agency on April 17 issued a finding that greenhouse gases contribute to air pollution that may endanger public health or welfare.

The proposed finding identified six gases – including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride – that pose threats.
