Environmental groups sue Shell over air quality at massive new Pennsylvania petrochemical plant

The plaintiffs asked a judge to order Shell to bring the plant into compliance, and impose civil penalties of up to $140,000 per day.RELATED COVERAGEShell spokesperson Curtis Smith said the company had no comment on the suit.The plant has been shut down for repairs since early April after Shell said it identified a problem with its flaring system, which is designed to burn off unwanted gases.
