Tell EPA: Protect Our Children From Harmful Soot Pollution

Petition

email Email Linkfacebook Share on Facebooktwitter Share on Twitter

Fine particulate matter pollution, also known as soot, is a dangerous pollutant and one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide, contributing to tens of thousands of deaths per year in the United States alone.

EPA has proposed new standards for soot pollution—but the proposal doesn’t go nearly far enough in protecting our children and communities from avoidable harms.

SPEAK OUT: Tell EPA to finalize soot pollution standards that follow the science and protect our children.
