The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released its final rule updating the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter, tightening the standard for soot pollution from 12 to 9 micrograms per cubic meter. This decision will improve air quality and public health, particularly in communities overburdened by pollution from power plants.
