But cities are filled with dirt, dust and irritating, invisible particles,
like dust mites and other allergens, that can affect health and mood. Based on the overwhelming evidence
of the death and disease demonstrated in these studies, it was clear to the
American Lung Association, to EPA's own staff scientists and to the
independent scientific review panel that much tighter limits were needed . EPA set
those standards in 1997 when we knew so much less than we do now about the
health impact of particle pollution. This is the
12th year of the voluntary program that helps keep Southeast Michigan air

PRESS RELEASE Statement by John L. Kirkwood President and Chief Executive Officer American Lung Association on Proposed New Particle Pollution Standards

If EPA adopts the standard as proposed, the Agency will have failed the

short of what is necessary to protect public health. Most recently, 104 leading air pollution researchers
and physicians sent a letter to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, also
recommending the most protective levels.

EPA 's responsibility under the law is to determine how much particle
pollution is safe to breathe.
The Agency had seven years to review more than 2,000 studies showing that
particle pollution, called particulate matter or PM, threatens the lives of
tens of thousands of Americans each year. On other days when you need to
refuel, fill up in the evening when the weather is cooler, and don't "top off "

Surveys show Americans link clean homes to happiness and satisfaction. Tight spaces
can get dirt intensive. For the first time, EPA will
have ignored recommendations from its own staff scientists and from its
official outside review panel of scientists; both groups have advised
setting a stronger standard than EPA has proposed.

is signing its proposal for new national air quality standards for particle

to set the new standards at levels that still do not meet the basic legal
requirement outlined in the Clean Air Act -- to protect the lives and
