#' On February 7, 2024, EPA strengthened the National Ambient Air Quality
#' Standards for Particulate Matter (PM NAAQS) to protect millions of Americans
#' from harmful and costly health impacts, such as heart attacks and premature
#' death. Particle or soot pollution is one of the most dangerous forms of air
#' pollution, and an extensive body of science links it to a range of serious
#' and sometimes deadly illnesses. EPA is setting the level of the primary
#' (health-based) annual PM2.5 standard at 9.0 micrograms per cubic meter to
#' provide increased public health protection, consistent with the available
#' health science.
