Smog linked to premature death

A well-designed study in JAMA links ozone, commonly known as smog, to an increased risk of premature death. This adds to the long roster of health problems associated with ozone. The study was conducted in 95 American cities. Seems Congress and the Administration are more worried about industry than the population as they are trying to further dilute the Clean Air Act.
