Summary
The EPA is proposing new rules to help reduce air pollution and ozone smog in the Dallas-Fort Worth area by requiring factories and businesses to use better pollution control technology. This matters to residents because cleaner air means fewer respiratory problems and healthier communities.
Key Points
- 1The Dallas-Fort Worth region has not met federal air quality standards, so new pollution controls are needed
- 2Businesses and industrial facilities will be required to install and use reasonably available control technology to reduce emissions
- 3The proposal gives companies options for how to reduce pollution while meeting environmental goals
- 4Public comment period runs until August 26, 2025, so Texas residents can provide feedback on the proposed rules
- 5If approved, these rules will help reduce ozone (smog) that causes breathing problems, especially for children and seniors
