Tell the EPA to Protect Public Health from Smog Pollution

Ozone or “smog” pollution can trigger asthma attacks and harm even the healthiest lungs, but the Bush administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed air quality standards for ozone that are weaker than what the agency’s own scientific advisors say are needed to protect public health.

Please email EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson to urge him to set air quality standards that protect the health of all Americans.

Clean Air

To bring clear skies back to Georgia, we're advocating the use of readily available technologies to reduce emissions from existing pollution sources and investing in alternative energy and modes of transportation. Read more.

Letter Dear EPA Administrator Johnson, Ozone exposure can harm even the healthiest lungs, causing serious health problems, including asthma attacks and even premature death. Your proposal to revise the national air quality standard for ozone falls short of what your own scientific advisors have said is needed to protect public health. When you finalize the standards next year, I urge you to reject industryâ€™s pleas to weaken the proposed ozone standard or maintain the status quo. Instead, please adopt a strong ozone standard of 0.060 ppm, consistent with the recommendations of your scientific advisors. Sincerely,
