WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the American Lung Association delivered letters to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed by more than 1,000 physicians, nurses, public health and other health professionals to strengthen, and then quickly finalize the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter air pollution. The standards, which were supposed to be finalized last month, are overdue and urgently needed.

Key Points: 
  • In January 2023, EPA proposed new NAAQS for fine PM, which are much weaker than what scientists recommended and the public want and need to protect their health.
  • That's why we need the strongest standards possible, to fully protect health," said Anne Mellinger-Birdsong, MD, MPH, FAAP, who signed the letter.
  • "As health professionals, we do our best to help reduce the health harms impacting the communities we serve, but we cannot control the air quality.
  • Strengthening both the 24-hour and annual standards is important for achieving health and equity benefits," said one of the letters.
