Federal Approval of Indiana's Plan to Monitor Nitrogen Oxide Pollution
Official: Final approval of Indiana NOx Emissions Monitoring
Reading: EPA approval of Indiana's existing NOx emissions monitoring plan constitutes a regulatory extension/readoption of an established monitoring program without evidence of increased stringency.
While this is an Indiana regulation, it may affect air quality across the region including parts of New Jersey.
In clear language
The EPA has officially approved Indiana's system for measuring and monitoring nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, which are a major air pollutant that damages air quality and public health. This approval means Indiana's monitoring plan meets federal air quality standards and can now be implemented. While this is an Indiana regulation, it may affect air quality across the region including parts of New Jersey.
