has some good and bad news for the Buckeye State.
The American Lung Association鈥檚 Ken Fletcher says air quality in Ohio, in general, is improving. He says all cities have reduced pollution and smog. But he says there鈥檚 also some bad news in the organization鈥檚 latest air quality report.
鈥淭here鈥檚 still just far too many counties in Ohio that have failing grades, especially for ozone pollution.鈥�
Fletcher says ozone pollution can lead to premature deaths, asthma attacks, lung problems, cancer and heart attacks. And he says Butler, Clark, Cuyahoga, Hamilton and Franklin counties are among those getting failing grades when it comes to ozone pollution. And he says he鈥檚 worried about what he calls an attack on clean air protections at the federal level.
