Dragon Products LLC, a Thomaston cement production company, will pay a $77,470 fine for violations of the federal Clean Air Act and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The EPA accused Dragon Products of failing to reduce emissions of such pollutants as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, benzene, toluene, dioxins/furans, hexane, and formaldehyde. It also alleged that the company failed to file public disclosure forms for chemicals it used, including lead, nickel, polycyclic aromatic compounds, manganese compounds and nitrate compounds.

In addition to the fine, Dragon Products will spend at least $298,000 to reduce the emission of fine dust particles from its facility, the EPA said. The fine dust particles are a serious threat to human health and have been a concern in the community surrounding Dragon's facility, it said.
