USA Today reports that Particle pollution falls 10% in 4 years.
Impossible. Without Kyoto? Come one. Yet pollution is up in liberal-led Canada—a proponent of the Kyoto Accord. Wow. How frustrating and embarrassing for the political science division of the environmentalist industry.
The average level of a deadly form of air pollution dropped in the USA from 1999 to 2003 as new pollution controls made strides in battling the nation’s air quality problem, the Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.
The deadliest form of particulate pollution, the soot emitted by tailpipes and smokestacks, fell 10% during the four-year period, the EPA reported. Particulate kills tens of thousands of people each year by triggering heart and lung problems, EPA reports have said.
Despite the improvement, many communities still suffer from particulate pollution far worse than allowed by federal law. The new report says that 62 million people live in counties where particulate levels were higher in 2003 than limits set by the EPA to protect public health.
But EPA chief Mike Leavitt said the nation has been making steady strides in improving overall air quality. His agency estimates that fine particulate levels are roughly 30% lower now than 25 years ago.
“Today’s report shows that we are making significant progress in the reduction of particle pollution,” Leavitt said.
