I live in the Southwest, and we can see the haze caused by air pollution. Asthma rates in our clinics and hospitals continue to rise.

Decision-makers in Washington, D.C. need to understand that clean air is a health care bargain. Lives are saved. Expensive hospitalization and medical care are avoided. Sick days off work and absence from school are reduced. Improvements to air quality pay for themselves.
 

All Messages: Supporting Our Clean Air Ambassadors.

Keep up the good work!

I support all your efforts to reduce polution and clean up the environment.

Thanks!

Thank you!

WAhy would anyone think otherwise?

Prevention plays a big part in keeping our citizens healthy. Clean air has a clear relationship to disease prevention. I support our Clean Air Ambassador in his efforts to get Washington to pay attention to this issue.

I live in Corrales where the incidence of demonstrated pulmonary fibrosis far exceeds the norm for a village of our size. The EPA, I understand, has not been here to investigate.

You rock!

Thank you, Dr. McCally!
