These are soot- and smog-forming pollutions, and pollutions related to global warming," said Peter Von Burchard of Florida PIRG.The group said the Bush administration has yet to enforce the legislation set up under the Clean Air Act. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection says Florida's air is getting cleaner.For more on the lethal legacy report, click here.
