100+ Scientists Endorse Stringent New PM Standards
More than 100 leading air quality scientists and physicians have called on EPA to propose tough new air quality standards for particulates.
“As doctors, scientists, and public health professionals, we are writing to urge you to act on the recommendations of your staff and the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee to revise both the annual and the 24-hour average National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) significantly downward to protect public health, and to establish a stringent new 24-hour standard for coarse particulate matter (PM10-2.5),” states the December 5, 2005 letter to EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson.
The complete letter, with specific recommendations and the full list of signers is attached.
