"Every year, air pollution sends hundreds of thousands of Americans to emergency
rooms, triggers millions of asthma attacks, and causes tens of thousands
of premature deaths. At the same time, air pollution damages forest and aquatic
ecosystems, poisons the fish we eat, and threatens the future of the planet
by contributing to global warming. Power plants emit more air pollution than
any other industry in the United States. The only comparable sources of air
pollution are cars and trucks." ~WASHpirg |
