Officials released new EPA air pollution enforcement policies which would allow new pollu- tion-causing industries in areas where federal air standards have yet to be met. The policy permits new industrial emissions in a region if an equivalent amount of pollution has been eliminated there by waste-curbing efforts. The area would see no net increase in dirty air, in other words. Although the Clean Air Act called for compliance with federal air standards by the middle of last year, most of the nation's 247 air quality control regions have yet to completely meet those standards. This new EPA move certainly weakens the federal push for clean air, and thus industries' environmental priori- tics. The new policies have been described as a On education restructuring "compromise" between no growth and excessive air By DOROTHY C.
