Georgia environmental regulators will no longer track ozone pollution in some counties

Georgia environmental regulators will no longer require companies to report their air pollution in counties that used to have bad ozone levels. This means the state will have less data on air quality in those areas.

For years, companies in certain Georgia counties had to submit regular reports on the pollutants they released into the air. This allowed regulators and the public to track emissions and ensure compliance with clean air standards. Removing this requirement means less transparency and oversight for air quality in those areas.
