I've experienced "boil water" orders, but I am surprised there's no alarm or outrage at the story today from EPA that our air "is simply too dirty to breathe". EPA toughens requirements for cutting smog New rules too much, says industry; it's not enough, say scientists Adam Rountree / AP updated 2 hours, 40 minutes ago WASHINGTON - The air in hundreds of U.S. counties is simply too dirty to breathe, the government said Wednesday, ordering a multibillion-dollar expansion of efforts to clean up smog in cities and towns nationwide. The Environmental Protection Agency announced it was tightening the amount of ozone, a key component of smog, that will be allowed in the air. But the lower standard still falls short of what most health experts say is needed to significantly reduce heart and asthma attacks from breathing smog-clogged air. --- Is it the aftermath of colors of alert?
