Air Pollution

email Email Linkfacebook Share on Facebooktwitter Share on X

Air pollution comes from many sources, including power plants, cars and trucks, factories, agriculture, wildfires, heating, and chemicals off gassing from everyday products. In the U.S., more than four in ten people live with unhealthy air quality—outdoors and indoors.

HEALTH IMPACTS

Air pollution is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for more than 6 million deaths each year. Air pollution can cause heart attacks, stroke, cancer, asthma, low birth weight, premature birth, and other serious health problems.

WHAT MOMS IS DOING
ABOUT AIR POLLUTION

Moms Clean Air Force fights air pollution on a national level by demanding that EPA pass strong, public health science-based protections. Switching to renewable energy sources and electrifying the transportation sector means cleaner air.

GET INVOLVED

Moms across the country also work to strengthen state laws that keep pollution out of our air and protect the health of our families. Visit our state pages to find out what’s happening in your state and how you can get involved.
