Initial Article Evaluation edit

The content of this article is completely relevant, albeit brief. The existing definition is mostly sufficient for a first sentence, and it cites the relevant law that the definition is based on. However, the definition should be further expanded with more details. It mentions that non-attainment areas "must implement a plan," but does not elaborate. Similarly, it describes the consequences of not doing so simply as "losing some forms of federal financial assistance." It does not source either of these claims, and they could both use significant clarification. The article is also completely lacking in examples, both of potential pollutants and examples of current or historical non-attainment areas. HaydenRHN (talk) 03:37, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
