WASHINGTON --
The Bush administration is considering doing away with health
standards that cut lead from gasoline, widely regarded as one of the
nation's biggest clean-air accomplishments.
Battery makers, lead smelters, refiners all have lobbied the
administration to do away with the Clean Air Act limits.
A preliminary staff review released by the Environmental Protection
Agency this week acknowledged the possibility of dropping the health
standards for lead air pollution.
