Unfortunately we have few long-term data records to be sure, but there is now evidence that for ozone, the problem is getting worse (see paper by Jaffe, Price, Parrish, Goldstein and Harris in publication list). There is some conflicting evidence on whether Asian sulfur emissions are increasing or decreasing and it probably depends on which chemical species we are talking about.
