    Issues of the Environment: The challenges of managing ground-level ozone
    David Fair
    Air quality continues to be an issue, and with a warming climate, the efforts at improvement may become more difficult.

Environmental advocates, including the director of the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center, says the process used to make the determination is questionable. Nick Leonard joined WEMU's David Fair to discuss the challenges ahead.
