NC, New Mexico and New Jersey ask for four PFAS chemicals to be designated hazardous air pollutants
RALEIGH, N.C. (WECT) – North Carolina, New Mexico and New Jersey’s environmental departments are asking the Environmental Protection Agency to designate four PFAS chemicals as Hazardous Air Pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
The chemicals that the states under Section 112 of the act include:
- PFOA (perflurooctanoic acid)
- PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid)
- PFNA (perfluorononanoic acid)
- GenX (HFPO dimer acid)
“The EPA has been proactive in addressing PFAS and supporting efforts to address PFAS contamination in our states,” said North Carolina DEQ Secretary Elizabeth S. Biser. “Adding these forever chemicals to the list of regulated pollutants addresses a gap in our regulatory authority and makes it possible to tackle a critical part of the PFAS life cycle: air emissions.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico plans to build new gates at four campus entrances along Central that will close nightly.
The gates will replace manual barriers in a project expected to cost about $1.5 million.
The Board of Regents approved the security upgrades for the UNM campus.
University officials said the gates will automatically close nightly from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The gates will go in near Princeton Drive, Stanford Drive, Yale Boulevard and Terrace Street on the south end of campus.
A current rendering shows the gate completely blocking the road. Officials said the change will reduce unauthorized traffic and allow police officers to focus more effectively on prevention and response.
Construction will start in May. University officials hope to finish the project by September.
