We do have a huge problem with air pollution in Ohio and part of the reason is the power plants ... which are old, dirty and burn coal.
The key thing here is recognizing that we still have a huge problem. While we are headed in the right direction, we have to figure out what more we can do.
It's something to cherish and it's something to celebrate, but it's also something to protect.
We've seen action taken, and more needs to be done. We will insist upon it.
It's encouraging news, we're very pleased at the improvement. However, cleaner is not clean enough.
The emissions from cars and trucks have been a big problem for the past 40 years.
We never count our chickens until they are actually published. The sooner we can get these regulations in place, the sooner communities can start benefiting from them.
We have mounting scientific proof that cleaning up the source of air pollution results in cleaner air and less illness and death. A study recently released showed that when particle air pollution declines in a city, the death rates also drop in that city.
This study further proves that cleaning up big polluters does help protect public health.
Diesel exhaust is very dirty, and it's a huge contributor to air pollution in many communities. This will make significant changes in the air quality in a lot of our urban areas.
