The OMA and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA), hosted a joint virtual briefing this week discussing major air rules impacting manufacturers including:

• The U.S. EPA’s finalized rule imposing stricter air standards on particulate matter. The proposal is known as PM2.5 (i.e., particles that measure two and a half micrometers or less in diameter)
• New ozone (NOx) rules impacting manufacturers in northeast and northwest Ohio (Cleveland and Toledo ozone non-attainment). 5/22/2024
