Healthy Air PA

No Pennsylvanian should have to breathe toxic air. @AmericanLungPA is improving PA's air & preventing Congress from weakening the Clean Air Act.

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper @SenAlexander @Edison_Electric You can help protect your community’s health from mercury and air toxics #pollution! Call your Members of Congress and ask them to tell @EPA: Don’t undermine the #MercuryandAirToxics standards https://t.co/u533BzP2k9

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper @SenAlexander @Edison_Electric .@EPA’s rule to undermine the #MercuryandAirToxics standards could result in increased #pollution, and establish a dangerous and deceptive precedent for cost benefit analysis of #CleanAir safeguards.

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper @SenAlexander @Edison_Electric Right now, the White House is reviewing a final @EPA rule that would undermine the #MercuryandAirToxics standards, putting the health of Americans – especially babies, children, and pregnant women – at risk. #MATS

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper @SenAlexander @Edison_Electric Diana Van Vleet on @EPA’s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards proposal: “How can one could argue that saving the lives of 11,000 Americans each year is not ‘appropriate and necessary’?…There is no justification for any action to weaken this fully implemented, popular safeguard.”

[American Lung Association @LungAssociation]

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper @SenAlexander @Edison_Electric More than 1,000 health and medical professionals from all 50 states to @EPA in a letter led by us: Undermining #MercuryandAirToxics pollution protections will harm Americans’ health, especially kids’ health. https://t.co/mUFT7PwPNg 📹 @GinaEPA

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper @SenAlexander Power plants have already made investments to meet the #MercuryandAirToxics Standards, including installing pollution controls now in operation. Here is a letter from @Edison_Electric & other utilities urging @EPA to fully maintain #MATS https://t.co/MuHcU0RL92

[American Lung Association @LungAssociation]

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper The #MercuryandAirToxics Standards are supported by senators in both parties. Here is a letter from @SenAlexander, @SenatorCarper, and others to @EPA in support of #MATS https://t.co/4coU10S8KV

[American Lung Association @LungAssociation]

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, Exec. Director of @PublicHealth on the #MATS says “if they were physicians, this would be considered medical malpractice. It’s clearly political malpractice and they will pay a political price for that. It’s inhumane and unacceptable.”

[American Lung Association @LungAssociation]

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper Undermining the #MercuryandAirToxics Standards would endanger the health of all Americans, but would be especially harmful to pregnant women, children, and babies since mercury can cause lifelong harm to brain development #HealthyAirForAll #MATS 📹 @GinaEPA

[American Lung Association @LungAssociation]

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper The #MercuryandAirToxics Standards reduce power plant pollution. Estimates by @EPA show #MATS would prevent up to 11,000 premature deaths, 4,700 heart attacks & 130,000 asthma attacks EVERY YEAR. Now EPA wants to ignore these benefits & gut these standards. 📹 Dr. Benjamin

[American Lung Association @LungAssociation]

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC @dbrownala @PublicHealth @SenatorCarper Without pollution controls, coal-fired power plants emit mercury & other air toxics that cause #asthma attacks, heart disease, & cancer. @EPA’s #MercuryandAirToxics standards have dramatically reduced these pollutants. #MATS

@EPA @GinaEPA @PressClubDC .@GinaEPA on the current @EPA proposal to undermine the #MercuryandAirToxics Standards: "I would call it playing fast and loose with the science"

The @EPA's scientists say climate change is going to cost us hundreds of billions of dollars per year by the end of the century - if we do nothing. Will you listen to YOUR OWN experts, @EPAAWheeler? #ActOnClimate https://t.co/7lhjS4jszM
