I love clean air but I find the article's title and opener a little unrealistic. I probably missed the gist here of the article but it seems to me this number being calculated by the EPA is being used to go after local governments and commercial polluters. They have no control over pollution from wildfires. Do we measure the number in the AM and decide its too high and tell everyone in the plant to go home for the day? Pollution is bad but this to be going after it the wrong way, should we not be focusing more on the past few years of insane wildfires?
