“The mercury cell process at PPG’s Natrium plant is in compliance with the most stringent air emission standards mandated by the federal Clean Air Act, and the plant’s reported mercury air emissions for 2008 were 86 percent lower than the emissions reported in 2004,” said Michael H. McGarry, PPG senior vice president, commodity chemicals. “We vehemently disagree with Maryland’s attorney general that emissions from our Natrium plant are impacting residents of his state. However, despite having disproven the attorney general’s allegations with scientific evidence, we are entering into this agreement solely to avoid the costs of litigation.”
