Attorneys general from 10 states, including Alaska, Illinois, and New York, plan to sue the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over its failure to review and enforce Emissions Standards for residential wood-burning stoves. The states argue that the EPA's current standards are inadequate, and its testing and certification program is ineffective. They claim that programs encouraging the replacement of older stoves with newer, cleaner models may provide little health benefits if the new heaters do not meet cleaner standards. The EPA's Office of Inspector General previously found flaws in the EPA's 2015 standards for wood heaters.
