What is Asarco about?
The Asarco Company operated a copper foundry in Tacoma, Washington that emitted high levels of arsenic, a known carcinogen. In the 1970s, the EPA required Asarco to reduce arsenic emissions by at least 25% to limit the estimated 4 cases of lung cancer per year caused by the emissions. As the company president, addressing this issue would be a priority to limit health impacts and comply with environmental regulations while maintaining economic viability. Potential solutions include reducing arsenic emissions
