Today K-Solv is legally allowed to release almost 20 times more volatile organic compounds — a class of chemicals that includes benzene — into the air each year than it did back then. The EPA’s National Air Toxics Assessment tool is based on weaker monitoring data from a few years back. That’s likely an undercount,” Hopkins said.
