twitterS. Nevada records sixth unhealthy day in 2002
Friday, April 19, 2002 | 10:59 a.m.
Southern Nevada this year has had triple the number of unhealthy days allowed under Environmental Protection Agency standards, Clark County Air Quality Management officials said.
On Wednesday one of the 17 area air quality monitoring stations -- the one at Rainbow Boulevard and Ann Road -- recorded unhealthful levels of PM-10 dust as a result of blustery winds, said Bob Folle, compliance manager with the Air Quality Management office.
It was the sixth unhealthful day of the year. The EPA allows just two unhealthful days, he said.
"It doesn't matter if it is one station or 17 stations, it counts as an unhealthful day," Folle said, noting that the EPA has not threatened sanctions against Southern Nevada for the violations.
