According to the EPA, the reason particulates are down is because of their Acid Rain Program. The restrictions they put on power plants in the Acid Rain Program had a desirable side effect of also limiting particulate waste. This program began (phase I)in 1995. Phase II began in 2000. So, I'm sorry hella, but this filthy liberal says that Clinton gets more credit for the reduced pollution than BushJr does.
Info on the Acid Rain Program:

Home page of the EPA:

"Report shows major improvements in air quality Dec 14 - Levels of fine particle pollution, also known as PM 2.5, were the lowest in 2003 since nationwide monitoring began in 1999. The improved air quality can be largely attributed to EPA’s Acid Rain Program, along with other programs that reduced emissions that contribute to fine particle formation. The report looks at recent and long-term trends in air quality and emissions." _First article on EPA homepage.
