The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced tougher limits for permissible amounts of ozone in the air, in line with the agency’s mandate under the Clean Air Act. The new limits allow ozone exposure at 75 parts per billion (ppb), down from the 84 ppb limit put in place more than 10 years ago. The Washington Post reports that the new limits are higher than those that EPA advisers had recommended for pollution-forming ozone.
