Do you know what your lungs are breathing? The American Lung Association State of the Air 2009 report shows that over 186 million Americans live in counties where air pollution endangers their lives. This includes over 40 million people in counties where the air failed every test.

     You can help make the air you breathe cleaner.  Tell the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen the air pollution health standards, known as National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter (soot) and ozone (smog). These standards protect your health by setting a legal limit on the safe levels of pollution in the air.

     The current standards set by the EPA are insufficient in protecting the health of sensitive populations such as children, the elderly, and those with heart and lung disease.

Why are we spending more on being sick and having more problems breathing?  Dirty air is driving citizen and workplace costs higher and higher.
