EPA orders LaFarge to add $170 million in air-pollution control equipment
January 28, 2010

The EPA has ordered LaFarge North America to install $170 million in new air-pollution control equipment at its operating facilities in the US, including their plant at Buffalo, Iowa (just outside Davenport). The EPA targeted LaFarge's emissions of nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide, and in addition to the requirements for new equipment, imposed a $5 million civil penalty against the company, of which Iowa will receive $135,000.

Tools for monitoring air pollution: We offer fixed-point gas detectors for sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide, as well as ambient air-quality monitors for sulfur dioxide and other contaminants, both as part of our commitment to supplying a wide range of pollution-control equipment and instruments to communities and industries in Iowa and Nebraska.
