Air Toxics- the most hazardous air pollutants from coal-fired power plants according to the EPA, and include mercury, arsenic, lead, dioxin, and acid gases.
And guess what? Texas has the highest mercury emissions of any other state in the country. We need a strong protection for our communities and our families.
