New regulation aims to take a slice out of NYC pizza pollution
A new rule that will drastically limit emissions from New York City's coal and wood-fired stoves goes into effect next month, and one councilmember hopes to ease the burden it imposes on pizzerias.
“If the goal here is truly to reduce the emissions produced by these old school ovens and not to raise revenue by issuing more fines to our beloved small businesses, then let's help these pizzerias comply instead of setting them up to fail," Brannan said in a statement. "Since only a handful of businesses will be impacted by the new rule, I'm confident we can come up with a solution so nobody gets burned.
Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou, assistant professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, said restaurants are the fastest-growing source of fine particulate matter in the city.New York City pizza historian Scott Wiener said the filter system's cost makes it very unpopular among pizzerias.Andrew Rigie, executive director of the NYC Hospitality Alliance, agreed.
