EPA Projects More than 99% of Counties would Meet
the Revised Fine Particle Pollution Standard

Projection of Counties with Monitors that would not Meet in 2032
(Based on EPA Modeling of Projected 2032 Emissions)

Note: EPA projected future fine particle
pollution levels only for counties with
monitoring data and within the contiguous
48 states. Modeled emissions are developed
from a 2018 base year and used in
projecting 2016-2020 monitoring
data. Projected emissions reflect expected
reductions from federal regulations that
have been finalized as of March 2023. Some
areas would have longer than 2032 to attain
the revised PM^ standard.

Based on 2032 Projections

52 counties would not meet the annual PM, 5 standard of 9 ug/m3
(23 are in CA)
