So of course the American Lung Association ’s yearly report, State of the Air (SOTA), published every year since 2000, is of professional and personal interest. The air quality for this report was calculated using data reviewed by EPA from 2020, 2021, and 2022. Ozone, too, poses significant risks to respiratory health.

The downwind air quality benefits are minimal. Units with existing advanced NOx controls must optimize their utilization by 2023. The proposed rule would provide de minimus air quality benefits in downwind areas with extremely high costs – estimated by EPA at $22 billion discounted 2016 dollars for the 2023-2042 period.
