The US Environmental Protection Agency is proposing the strictest health standards to date for smog.
Smog, also known as ground-level ozone, is linked to a number of serious health problems, ranging from aggravation of asthma to increased risk of premature death in people with heart or lung disease.
Ozone can even harm healthy people who work and play outdoors. The agency is proposing to replace the standards set by the previous administration, which many believe were not protective enough of human health.

I think that a differentiation should be clearly stated between smog and ozone. Ozone is O3 is it not? While smog is a mixture of all sorts of particulates and gasses that come from Coal and the burning of fossil fuels.
Oxygen 3, is one of the things that protects us from cosmic radiation and solar bombardment, as in the Ozone layer.
Current89, I think you should clarify that the difference is and get the terminology correct.

One step forward and two steps back.
It seems they will make big claims about one thing, while they hope MTR, etc. stories/pollution, will go away.
No matter though, it is a step in the right direction. - 2 years ago
