Environmentalists take note: 2004 has seen the lowest ozone smog levels in this country since states began measuring back in the 1970s. Preliminary data reveals that the number of days exceeding the Environmental Protection Agency's tough new eight-hour ozone standard declined an average of about 50 percent from 2003, which also was a record low smog year, reports Joel Schwartz, a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. He credits a combination of continuing emissions reductions and cool wet weather. "But the weather is only part of the story," the researcher insists. "During the last 30 years ... never have smog levels been anywhere near this low."
