Hi Parfumgigi,

Protest the new EPA rules that leaves our health at risk

In spite of thousands of studies showing how dangerous particulate pollution is the EPA has proposed rules that are weaker than those recommended by scientists. Send an official comment to the EPA protesting their new rule that leaves our lives and health at risk >>

On December 20, 2005, the EPA charged ahead with new, more lenient, rules for polluters - but before this rule can take effect, the EPA must consider comments from the public.

Submit your official comment to the EPA and tell them the new rules do not go far enough to protect our families!

Each year thousands of premature deaths occur because of tiny particles emitted by power plants and cars. Particle pollution worsens asthma and other respiratory ailments and has been linked to premature deaths from heart and lung disease.

There is a strong consensus among scientists that the annual and daily limits on particle pollution need to be tighter to protect public health. EPA's own scientists and an EPA commissioned scientific panel also have proposed tightening both standards.

But in spite of thousands of studies showing the dangers or particle pollution, EPA Administrator Johnson proposed standards weaker than those recommended by scientists. This proposed rule leaves millions of Americans unprotected and threatens the lives of thousands.

Federal law requires the EPA to solicit and review comments on any proposed rule, and we need to let them know that we expect rules that protect our health.
