Your help is needed to pass SB 656 (Sher) to require state and local air quality agencies to adopt new measures to control particulate pollution. Particulates are tiny particles emitted from diesel engines, industrial sources, woodstoves and fireplaces, agricultural burning and construction operations that travel deep into the lung and cause illness and premature death. The State Air Resources Board has estimated that reducing particulate pollution could annually prevent 6,500 premature deaths, 32,000 cases of bronchitis in children, 340,000 asthma cases and thousands of hospitalizations and emergency room visits.

SB 656 WILL BE UP ON THE SENATE FLOOR ON THE WEEK OF JUNE 2ND FOR A VOTE.  PLEASE ACT NOW!!
