South Phoenix gets $1 million to fight air pollution; climate change money unchanged

The Department of Environmental Quality has agreed to pay for a $1 million effort to track air pollution and screen children for respiratory illnesses in south Phoenix, following an outcry over a plan to instead use a polluter's fine to fight global warming.

The program was unveiled on the heels of a protest over the agency's decision to spend $1 million on the Western Climate Initiative, made up of seven western states and four Canadian provinces. That money comes from a $6 million fine levied against a Honeywell plant for discharging harmful solvents and jet fuel into the sewer system and soil.
