What This Means

The EPA is approving Cleveland, Ohio's demonstration that it has met federal air quality standards for ozone pollution based on data collected in 2015. This means Cleveland is being recognized as having acceptable ozone levels and may face fewer pollution-control requirements going forward. This matters because it affects what pollution-reduction rules the city and local businesses need to follow, and it indicates whether the area's air quality has improved enough to meet federal standards.
