Original: Curtis Bay Energy will end incineration of medical waste under agreement with state
Curtis Bay Energy, a medical waste facility in Baltimore's Curtis Bay area, has agreed with the state of Maryland to stop incinerating medical waste. The deal follows years of concern from South Baltimore residents about air pollution and health risks tied to the incinerator. Environmental advocates view it as a significant win for a community long burdened by industrial emissions.
Why now: The agreement resolves a long-running environmental justice dispute over air pollution in South Baltimore.
