EPA Signals Move To Toughen Ozone Standard

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday it will reconsider the 2008 ozone standards issued by the Bush administration, with the agency suggesting in a court that it would toughen the standards because it has concerns about whether standards "satisfy the requirements of the Clean Air Act." And in a statement, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said the agency needed to reconsider the primary and secondary ozone standards to ensure that they are scientifically sound and adequately protective of public health.
