The EPA, under Obama, is proposing a new level of restriction in Ozone ppm from Bush's o.o78 to 0.06-0.07. Only a few of the currently agreeable countries would abide by the level if it was reduced. It would take about 19-90 billion a year to reduce the smog, but all of the money would be payed back in full because of the higher level of health, as many as 12,000 would be saved from fatal lung cancer, and many other non-life threatening conditions could be reduced. The smog does not come from only factories and cars, many other everyday objects produce this pollutant, and awareness alone might serve to help the air.
