FEDS seem very confused on issue....hmmm.

"The USA is different than most countries ... maybe someone can verify this, but most countries are much more pro ozone than the USA ... there is a reason."

Yeah THAT AIR GUY, things are suspicious.

FIRST from this site: http://breathebetterair.com/is-ozone-safe.html

Many companies marketing air purifiers today are causing much confusion over the difference between ozone and smog.
This confusion is causing the public to believe that ozone and smog are one and the same. This could not be further from the truth. Smog is not ozone! Smog is a combination of harmful pollutants and chemicals found in the air. This occurs more frequently in the air of heavily congested inner cities. Smog is that haze that you see hanging over some of our larger cities around the world. Sources of VOCs and NO2 include the following:
• Automobiles, trucks and buses
• Gasoline storage and transfer
• Large combustion and industry sources such as utilities
• Industrial use of solvents and degreasing agents
• Consumer products such as paints and cleaners, Off-road engines such as aircraft, locomotives, construction equipment, and lawn and garden equipment.



THEN this from the Federal government:
http://www.epa.gov/air/ozonepollution/basic.html

Ground-level or "bad" ozone is not emitted directly into the air, but is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight. Emissions from industrial facilities and electric utilities, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC.

You'd think the Feds would have smarter scientists able to make the distinction between "ozone" and "smog", no?
