Mercury Success Stories
NEWMOA and its sister organizations, the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) and the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) collaborated on a series of reports that describe some of the results of mercury reduction programs in the northeast region that have targeted emissions controls, reduction and management of mercury-containing products, and wastewater discharges. To find the overall executive summary of the results of the three reports combined and each individual report, use these links:
