June 08, 2009 02:50 pm

— JACKSON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency was set Tuesday to host a public meeting in the small east Mississippi town of Enterprise to answer questions about a national school air quality study.
Enterprise High School was one of 62 schools in 22 states and the only one in Mississippi selected by the EPA for the Schools Air Toxics Monitoring Project.
Paul Wagner, an EPA environmental scientist, would not specifically say why Enterprise High School is part of the study. He did say the EPA used comprehensive data to select schools where air quality problems might exist.
The 6 p.m. meeting will be held at Enterprise High School.
