On August 17, PA Interfaith Power & Light and Jewish Earth Alliance will host an online program on the dangers of particulate air pollution.

Participants will learn how the current standards for the deadly and dangerous particulate matter pollution, or soot, set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are outdated and insufficient. 

And, how it's time for EPA to update these pollution limits to the strongest science-based standards, to ensure cleaner air for families, advance environmental justice, and protect public health and the climate.

Christopher D. Ahlers, Staff Attorney for the Clean Air Council will provide an overview of what particulate matter pollution, or soot is, what causes and what individuals and businesses can do to reduce it.  He will also discuss the recommendations for the revised standards.

There will be time for discussion.  An inspirational speaker will be announced.
