In a story for The Environment Report, SNRE professor and Erb Institute director Thomas Lyon discusses the obstacles to regulating pollution.  Small businesses and farms in particular are often poorly monitored, especially now that many state agencies are lacking in resources.  “Big smokestack industries we have a fairly good eye on, but there are a lot of areas that we still don’t have a good handle on,” says Lyon.
