This is a victory gezegde

 This is a victory for public health. It makes no sense to allow huge multi-million-dollar projects that drastically increase air pollution without installing up-to-date pollution controls or even notifying nearby residents.

 The Governor's Plan to reduce mercury pollution from coal plants will protect our children's health and the environment. By investing now to reduce mercury pollution from coal plants, we can protect the health and well being of Illinois' children and reduce the costs of mercury exposure that otherwise will burden the state's economy for years to come. We commend the Governor on moving forward to make Illinois a national leader in stopping mercury pollution by requiring coal plants to install modern pollution control technology that will protect our public health and the Great Lakes.

 This is like saying we need to have a stricter speed limit, but for now everyone can go faster. It makes no sense to allow pollution to increase when you're saying you need stronger protection.

 In fact, when you burn coal, you emit more acid rain pollution, more air pollution, more smog and more global warming pollution which threatens the entire planet.

 There is evidence that imported Asian pollution causes ozone levels in the air crossing the western border of the U.S to increase. This makes efforts to achieve American air quality standards more difficult and costly. Though we don't have any control over pollution coming from other countries, we can try to predict the quality of our future air and climate based on its source. These scientific experiments are necessary to do this.

 The Bay is cleaner than it was 40 years ago when raw sewage and industrial pollution were dumped directly into it. While the pollution from business and point sources is strictly regulated, storm water pollution from our cars, homes and neighborhoods is still a major problem.

 When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28% increase in admissions for each 10 mg per cubic meter increase in fine-particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine-particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects? response.

 Residents of Massachusetts and particularly those along the Buzzards Bay coastline have experienced first-hand the devastation to the environment that can result from accidental oil spills. However, there was nothing accidental about this case. The defendant knowingly violated anti-pollution laws, intentionally dumping oil-contaminated waste directly into the ocean--and even went so far as to manufacture a so-called 'magic pipe' to accomplish the crime. Our hope is that this substantial $10 million fine will send a strong message to those in the maritime community who would try to circumvent our Nation's anti-pollution laws.

 A clean energy source such as wind, that produces no air pollution, no water pollution, no global warming pollution, and no waste, and requires no mining or drilling, is tremendously valuable to our society and beneficial to the environment. Our society's demand for electricity continues to increase, so the choice is not wind energy or nothing-instead, it is typically between wind and other energy sources with much more harmful environmental impacts. Wind energy is an important part of a balanced energy policy.

 When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28 percent increase in admissions for each 10 microgram per cubic meter increase in fine particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects' response.

 Today's victory means that thousands of Americans will not have their lives cut short because of the pollution that would have blown through this huge loophole.

 Air pollution can be a major health threat, especially for at-risk populations and those with respiratory illness. This study will help us target improvements to clean the air, improve the environment and enhance public health.

 President Bush needs to stop playing politics with public health. We need a stronger standard dealing with fine particle soot pollution that affects the health of millions of Americans.

 Current standards do not do enough to protect the public from serious health dangers associated with this form of pollution.

 What we see is a Congress who tends to think that the job of public health and environmental protection is not particularly important, that the job in some ways is done and that we don't have to worry about further reducing pollution.

 Pex Tufvesson created the music program Noisetracker.
