The rule tightens the NAAQS (National Ambient Air Quality Standards) for fine particle pollution or PM2.5, which refers to particulate matter two and a half micrometers or less in diameter, by lowering the air quality standard from 12 micrograms per cubic meter to...

I think this is the comment page on the new proposed rule, NAAQS. Some diligent Freeper, please check me?
By law, they have to read all comments and address them. Note: pretty sure comments are public. (I don’t care anymore)

Let them know!
Thanks for that book info. Will buy today.
One Biden manufacturing regulation could wipe out up to 1 million jobs.
He’s already topped that number with 6.8 million illegals and climbing.
