From NRDC :
"In a victory for the health of all Americans, especially those most burdened by air pollution, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan announced today the agency’s final decision strengthening limits on soot (fine particulate matter) in our air. These limits, a part of the Clean Air Act known as National Ambient Air Quality Standards, define how much soot pollution is medically unsafe to breathe and set the level to which this kind of pollution must be reduced across the country. Soot air pollution from car and truck tailpipes, power plants, and other fossil fuel combustion seriously harms human health, damaging the heart, brain, and cardiovascular system and causing premature deaths. With today’s strong action, Americans will breathe cleaner, healthier air. In fact, the EPA estimates that by 2032, these stronger soot limits will result in 4,500 fewer deaths and 800,000 fewer asthma attacks (among other health benefits) across the country each year."

In a Win for Health, the EPA Toughens Limits on Soot Air Pollution Today's agency action will deliver life-saving protections from dangerous air pollution.

Happy Leap Year (or is it Leap Day?)!

Who Decided Feb. 29 Is Leap Day? Why the extra day in a leap year comes at the end of the second month.
