Description | Ecology is proposing agency request legislation to align state emission standards with more protective national standards adopted by EPA for wood stoves. This agency request legislation would also address insufficiencies in EPA’s certification process by creating a program to ensure that wood stoves sold in Washington are clean burning and comply with emission standards for fine particle air pollution, which is known to harm human health. | ||||
