EPA air-quality rules

YOUNGSTOWN

The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber on Friday joined state officials and business groups in opposing proposed changes in the National Ambient Air Quality Standard rules for ground-level ozone emissions.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed revising the primary and secondary standard ozone emissions to a level within the range of 65 to 70 parts per billion, which many say will be difficult for manufacturers to achieve. The current ozone standard is 75 parts per billion.

The new standards are expected to be implemented Oct. 1.

CVS: Photo-site user info possibly stolen

NEW YORK

CVS said Friday investigators have confirmed that the company that manages their photo website was hacked this summer, possibly resulting in the theft of some CVS customer information.

The photo website of the nation’s second-largest drugstore chain has been shut down since July after the breach was detected. The photo sites of Rite Aid, Costco and Wal-Mart Canada also were affected in the breach.

CVS Health Corp. said it started contacting potentially affected customers Friday. A spokesman for the Woonsocket, R.I.-based company wouldn’t say how many customers were being notified, or comment beyond the note to consumers posted on CVS’ photo website.

The company’s main CVS.com website, the computer system used by its pharmacies, its optical website and its MinuteClinic online bill-pay site were not affected by the breach. Sales made in CVS stores also were not affected.
