U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 in Chicago has reached an agreement with Bridgeview Aerosol LLC for alleged violations of federal and state regulations on hazardous waste. The Bridgeview, Ill.-based manufacturer of various automotive and household aerosol products has agreed to pay a penalty of $30,000.

According to Bridgeview's Web site, the company offers a comprehensive portfolio of services including initial product formulation, testing, manufacturing, packaging, and distribution. Additionally, it says it uses "the latest high performance aerosol under-the-cap pressure filling equipment" and provides a variety of propellants.
