This summer, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering a change to the national air quality standards for ozone air pollution, often called smog. These standards set the official limits on how much ozone can be in a community. States and communities all across the nation must clean up to meet these standards.   Send a message today to tell the EPA to strengthen the ozone standard.

Science shows that millions are at risk from ozone smog at the levels EPA has previously considered safe.  Ozone smog can cause asthma attacks, coughing and wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain when inhaling deeply. Breathing ozone smog threatens serious health risks, including new evidence that links it to premature death.  People most sensitive to ozone smog are children and teens, the elderly, people with asthma and other lung diseases and even healthy people who work or exercise outdoors. 

Right now the EPA is taking comments from the public on where they should set the standards—this official limit of ozone smog. Polluters are telling EPA to keep the standards where they are right now—at levels we know are not safe for healthy adults, much less for children, the elderly or people with lung disease. Expert scientists tell us that the best evidence shows that we need a much tighter standard. Help us tell the EPA to set the standards at levels that will protect the health of everyone, but especially these most vulnerable people.
