These measures are expected to remove six times as much pollution as the costlier gear would have done...

Mancusi-Ungaro said that it should, and afterward explained why: "The Cincinnati incident was a loss, but to set a precedent for canceling rock concerts based on that tragedy would be inappropriate.
