The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will reconsider the 2008 primary and secondary ozone standards. In 2008, EPA established a new primary 8-hour standard for ozone of 0.075 parts per million (ppm), and a new secondary standard set at a form and level identical to the new primary standard. ppm standard, due to rounding.

Among the many climate-related vulnerabilities that can impact its mission, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cites a likely increase in tropospheric ozone pollution as potentially making it more difficult to attain National Ambient Air Quality Standards ( NAAQS ) in many areas with existing ozone problems.

The project builds upon the idea that air quality and climate change issues are linked through “one atmosphere”, an approach that demands coordination and multi-tiered approaches. The complex roles that ozone and aerosols play in the atmosphere provide examples of such trade-offs. CalNex is the culmination of three years’ preparation.

A scholarly literature has documented this process in fields as diverse as engineering, risk reduction, management, and urban studies. We propose to build on this foundation and find a way to learn not just from crises but even during the crisis itself. LIFE IS A HARD SCHOOL: First it gives us the test and only then the lesson.
