We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Earthjustice.

The short explanation of this alert was:

photo composite of Phoenix on a clear day vs. a smoggy dayRight now, the Environmental Protection Agency is working on updating Clean Air Act standards for allowable levels of particulate pollution in the air, which gives the agency an important opportunity to do the right thing for Americans and make much-needed improvements to these important standards.

However, EPA’s recent proposal would substantially weaken key health protections provided by current standards. Not only would it exempt mining and agribusiness industries from major parts of the standards, but it would leave rural areas completely unprotected from significant types of particle pollution.

The proposal conflicts with scientists’ recommendations and the basic requirements of the Clean Air Act. We need your help to tell EPA that we all deserve the strongest protections against harmful air pollutants, no matter where we live, or what industry emits them. Take action today!

Personalized messages carry much more weight -- please take a moment to tell EPA why strong protections against air pollution are important to you!
