Another great LTE in today's Register:

Green light for polluters
The "Meaningless Air Standard" July 21 editorial is right on. The World
Health Organization and experts from the University of Iowa and Iowa State
have recommended 15 parts per billion (ppb) hydrogen sulfide as safe for
human health.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resource's proposal for 30 ppb is a green
light for factory farms to continue polluting Iowa's air. Not only do those
of us who live in rural Iowa have to breathe that polluted air, we are
forced to subsidize large animal confinements with tax dollars.

Factory-farm producers get richer while Iowa citizens get sicker.
