If forced to reduce the amount of arsenic pollution it produces, the industry would stand to lose millions of dollars; it lobbied hard to get the policy overturned and has succeeded in temporarily preserving the antiquated standards. But delay on this issue is unacceptable: every day that Bush prioritizes the mining industry’s bottom line over the nation’s welfare, more Americans will...
