ALA State Of The Air Report and A Request 

Message Body 

Lisa 

I've been thinking a lot about what you discussed with the American Lung Association Board when you 

attended our meeting in DC on March 16, 2010 . As a former chemical engineer, I agree with you and 

believe that the scientists and engineers in our country are a unique resource that is capable of crafting 

innovative answers to our many environmental issues . However, as gifted and talented as these technical 

people are, there are many impediments, not the least of which is funding, to getting them focused on and 

working towards these solutions . 

In the meantime, the young, the old and those with asthma and other lung issues must continue to endure 

unhealthful air in too many parts of our country and especially in the East. ALA released it's State Of The 

Air report today which can be viewed at www.stateoftheair.org and which sadly, shows just how dangerous 

the air is to breathe in too many of populated areas. 

On February 2, 2010 I had the honor and opportunity in my capacity as Speaker of the National Assembly 

of ALA to testify before the EPA in Arlington, Virginia on EPA's reconsideration of the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards For Ozone . During my testimony I told how, over the past few decades the once clear 

air over Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park is a thing of the past and that smog now plagues that 

area and much of Maine as well as the East Coast causing countless hazy and unhealthful days. 

I'm aware that EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee has proposed a range of 60 to 70 ppb. 

Given the sobering statistics in our State Of The Air report I hope EPA will set the ozone standard at 60 

ppb even though it is my personal belief that it should be even much lower. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this email and I hope you can review our report . 

Wishing you the best.
