Who else will gain from cleaning up dirty power plants and industrial facilities?
Citizens throughout the eastern half of the U.S. The Northeast has the highest short-lived ozone peaks, but residents of large areas in the industrial Midwest and the Southeast have higher average ozone concentrations during ozone events; they breathe elevated ozone longer. If EPA controls NOx emissions as requested by these Section 126 petitions, average summertime ozone levels will be significantly reduced. Besides lowering ozone smog, NOx controls will also reduce acid rain, fine particle pollution, and eutrophication of our lakes. Addressing these issues will have a positive impact on public health, water quality, forest and agricultural productivity, and fisheries.
