Judge Rules In Favor of ACGIH® in IBSA/NMA Lawsuit
     In a summary judgment ruling issued on May 6, 2008, a federal judge in the United States District Court in Macon, Georgia dismissed the last of four counts in a lawsuit against ACGIH® initiated by the International Brominated Solvents Association (IBSA), National Mining Association (NMA), and other plaintiffs. Three counts had been previously dismissed in March, 2005.
