WASHINGTON, December 7, 2020 – The American Petroleum Institute (API) today released the following statement in support of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) final proposal to maintain existing Particulate Matter (PM) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), which the EPA is required to review every five years. The decision follows the EPA’s review of the scientific evidence underlying the standards and is consistent with the recommendation of the agency’s independent Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee, which voted 5-1 to retain the current standards.
