EPA Holds Public Hearing on Smog

The Environmental Protection Agency held the first of 3 public hearing on ground level ozone, also known as smog. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said in January the Agency would reconsider a Bush era ruling of 75 parts per billion. The EPA is looking at setting the restrictions at somewhere between 60-70 parts per billion. This hearing allowed the public to have their comments put into the public record, and Clean Skies Lee Patrick Sullivan was there.

There is no relation between Ozone and Smog..It's look this people targeting some countries to reduce the pollution. Ground level Ozone need air temp. between 32-40 C, Humdity and small amount of NOx. For example London has high NOx but no high air tempture so they safe from Ozone.
