美国环保局（EPA）对俄亥俄州的鉴定结果原文如下：

“The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that the air quality in Ohio does not meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ground-level ozone. The EPA is proposing to designate all or part of Ohio as a nonattainment area for this standard. This designation would require the state to develop and implement a plan to reduce emissions of ozone-forming pollutants in order to bring air quality into compliance with the standards.”
