Knauf Fiber Glass Cited For Air Pollution

The US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 has recently cited Knauf Fiber Glass GmbH for alleged clean-air violations at the company's Shelbyville, Indiana, fibre plant. EPA said particulate emissions from one of Knauf's glassmaking furnaces exceeded federally enforceable State standards. To resolve these violations, EPA may issue a compliance order, assess an administrative penalty, or file a suit against the German company, reports say.
