Senate would recognize smog's health risks and urge EPA to reduce pollution
This resolution would have the Senate formally acknowledge that ground-level ozone, or smog, causes serious health problems like lung disease, asthma attacks, and heart issues. It would also express the Senate's opinion that the Environmental Protection Agency should work to cut down on smog pollution, including by strongly supporting the methane pollution standards set in 2024.
Today, the Senate has not formally recognized the specific health impacts of ozone pollution in this way, nor formally expressed its opinion regarding the EPA's role in reducing smog and implementing methane standards. If this resolution passes, the Senate would officially state its recognition of these health issues and its view that the EPA should take action to reduce smog, including by strongly supporting the 2024 methane standards, which aim to cut 58,000,000 tons of methane pollution over 15 years.
