EPA
The Environmental Protection Agency is doing everything BUT protecting the environment. They are supposed to the air quality standards based on scientific test. Today they released a recommendation for the smog level. This recommendation was set after a two day meeting with industry officials. The level they set was .08 parts per million. The EPA's own scientist say that levels as low as .06-.065 ppm, would reduce deaths related to heart attacks or respiratory ailments by 75 percent. But instead of listening to their own scientist, they are listening to scientist that have their interest in industry, not public health.
The EPA has given two weeks for the public to make their opinions known before the make their levels permanent. If they do, we might all have to wear respirators.
