Sunbeam uses paint lines to paint its outdoor grills.
Ozone is harmful to humans and crops.
It can damage lung tissue in healthy adults and children, and is responsible for several billion dollars of agricultural crop yield loss each year in the United States alone. Powder paint lines temporarily attach paint pigments and resin to grill parts. The parts are then baked, which permanently attaches the pigments and resin. The powder paint lines Sunbeam agreed to build and operate at its Neosho plant will decrease smog-causing volatile organic compound emissions at that plant by more than 700 tons per year. The settlement resolves a lawsuit brought by the Justice Department on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1996.
