Michelle Bell Quotes on Health (2 Quotes)

This study investigates whether there is a threshold level below which ozone does not affect mortality. Our findings show that even if all 98 counties in our study met the current ozone standard every day, there would still be a significant link between ozone and premature mortality. This indicates that further reductions in ozone pollution would benefit public health, even in areas that meet regulatory requirements.

Because we found no safe level of ozone, any reduction in ozone has a benefit for human health. Even if areas meet the standards, if they lower the ozone levels there will be health benefits.
