Set a federal limit on refinery emissions of hydrogen cyanide

DeGette’s legislation would direct the EPA to assess the potential health effects of hydrogen cyanide on nearby communities and set a maximum federal limit on how much refineries may release into the air. The proposal is intended to protect people living near refineries from exposure to this toxic chemical.

Context: The source describes proposed legislation but does not specify the limit or how it would be set.
