One clean air Act settlement between agricultural processor Bunge North America Inc. and several Midwest States removes 2200 tons of pollution each year from our atmosphere.

Bush and Republican lawmakers, who had once supported exclude the clean air act now try to use it, which is often low for their party as proof of their commitment to the environment, a problem.

The Government argues that permits or approval for changes to its processing plants and these changes have led Bunge to significant increase in pollution soy do not get. Similar settlements followed this case with other processors like Cargill Inc. and Archer Daniels Midland.

"This settlement will reduce the formation of ground-level ozone, a pollutant, which irritates the lungs and aggravated diseases such as asthma," said Sue Ellen Wooldridge, Assistant Attorney General for the environment and natural resources division of the Ministry of justice.
