SOUTH PORTLAND There are elevated levels of toxic chemicals in the air in parts of South Portland, but officials need to collect more data to be sure it’s being caused by above-ground petroleum storage tanks in the city.
That’s the key finding of the city’s Clean Air Advisory Committee, presented along with the committee’s recommendations at a city council workshop March 2. The council took no action, but does plan to address the committee’s recommendations at a future meeting.
