Description | The Washington Department of Ecology conducted a mobile monitoring study in 2014 that confirmed an ozone hotspot in the Tri-Cities that was predicted in an atmospheric model. Left unchecked, these ozone levels could pose a significant risk to the health of Tri-Cities residents. Beginning in the 2021-23 biennium, Ecology is requesting an increase to the funding available for grants to local communities to prevent nonattainment with federal air quality standards. |
