Tell the EPA to reduce smog pollution
By Alana Stamas, Environment Iowa
Environment Iowa members have helped pass new rules to cut air
pollution from cars and diesel trucks and to stop the Bush
administration from weakening the Clean Air Act. Now, we need your help
to strengthen air quality standards for ozone “smog” pollution, which
can trigger asthma attacks and harm even the healthiest lungs.
In
June, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a slight
strengthening of the national air quality standard for ozone.
Unfortunately, EPA's proposal falls short of what its own scientific
advisors said is necessary to protect public health. We need your help
to urge the administration to strengthen the standards so that they
protect public health, not polluters.
The EPA wants to hear from
you about smog pollution, and we want to make sure that they hear loud
and clear that we want to stop smog now. We only have until October
9th, so send your comment today and be sure to ask your friends to do
the same! To send your email, click on the link below:
