The federal government says Bibb County, which includes Macon, finally meets ozone safety standards. That’s according to the Macon Telegraph. Earlier this year, Bibb and part of nearby Monroe County landed on the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's “non-attainment” list for ozone. Ozone is the main component of smog and causes breathing and heart problems. Local leaders say meeting air safety standards is good economic news because it allows middle Georgia counties to recruit more jobs.
