Associated Press reports, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Michael Regan has made a controversial decision to postpone an update of air quality standards on ground-level ozone (smog) for two years. Regan said, “I have decided that the best path forward is to initiate a new statutory review of the ozone (standard) and the underlying air quality criteria,’’ based on “several issues” raised by a scientific advisory panel, one of two that recently recommended lowering the current standards in the interest of public health. According to Associated Press, the decision “avoids an election year battle with industry groups and Republicans who have complained about what they consider overly intrusive EPA rules on power plants, refineries, automobiles and other polluters.”
More information about Regan’s decision and the review process is set out in a recent EPA news release.
