Return Of The Smog

"The proliferation of pollution sources and regional growth as well as setbacks in the development of key smog control technologies are threatening to undo hard-won clean-air gains in the Los Angeles area...At the root of the problem, experts argue, are too many people driving too many cars, especially trucks and sport utility vehicles that are subject to more lenient fuel efficiency standards than passenger cars...The Bush administration recently decided not to seek stringent emission controls for big ships, sought by air quality officials along the California coast... Growth patterns in the suburbs, too, are causing smog problems. "
