President Obama last week rejected his own Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to strengthen national air quality standards for ozone, a dangerous air pollutant.
Please call the White House: 202-456-1111. Tell President Obama you are severely disappointed with this decision.
Ozone, the nation’s most pervasive outdoor air pollutant, contributes to asthma attacks; decreases lung function; aggravates chronic and deadly lung diseases and some heart diseases, and can lead to heart attacks and premature death.
The EPA is required by the Clean Air Act to set protective standards for ozone, based on scientific findings. But corporate polluters and their allies in Congress lobbied hard against the proposed standard.
This decision puts at risk the health of millions of Americans, especially children and older people, people with chronic lung disease such as asthma and COPD, and people who work or exercise outdoors.
That’s a lot of Americans.
Call President Obama now. Tell him that polluters should pay for the harm they inflict on our health – not American families.
Air pollution kills. Thank you for speaking out to save a life.
