Bullseye & Uroboros air pollution problems
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2016 10:20 am
I ran across this news article on Facebook dated Feb. 14, 2016:
"Bullseye Glass, Southeast Portland’s globally renowned supplier of art and architectural glass, altered its production processes this week in response to concerns about the factory’s effect on local air quality.
Bullseye has passed Oregon Department of Environmental Quality tests twice in the past year but, nonetheless, last Wednesday The Portland Mercury broke the news that the state DEQ believed Bullseye was behind high levels of arsenic and cadmium in the air in Southeast Portland.
“We understand the concerns and take public health and the environment seriously,” Bullseye Glass responded in a press release. “That is why, upon being contacted by DEQ last week, we made a voluntary decision to suspend the use of cadmium and arsenic in our glass-making process.”
