Boise's air polution problem likely to get worse as EPA mulls making ozone rules tougher

While it's I find it mildly annoying to go get my cars emission test done I can appreciate measures taken to clean up the air pollution in Boise. 

As Boise's growing pains have caught up with them the air quality seems as if it's going to remain an issue.  Anyone who's taken a trip to Bogus Basin and looked down on a clear day to see the nasty inversion has got to think twice about the air we're breathing in the Treasure Valley.

It seems by this time next year the EPA will issue new standards for air quality standards.  Fancy math won't save the Treasure Valley this time.  Merely lopping off decimal points won't bring air quality standards in line.  Recommendations have been made to lower the current standard of 75 parts per billion to somewhere in the range of 60-75 ppb.  

Good news for news for Boiseans wanting to breath clean air and too bad for those opposed to emission testing. 

Now where's that little post card, I know my car is due.
