Clean Air in brief
Half of all Americans live in places with unsafe levels of air
pollution. Air pollution triggers millions of asthma attacks each year
and contributes to other serious health problems, particularly among
children, senior citizens and other sensitive groups. Air pollution also
creates the haze that hangs over city skylines and our national parks.
We are working to clean up smog, fine particle soot, mercury and other
toxic air pollutants from the biggest sources, including power plants,
cars and trucks, and industrial plants.
