To All Citizens Concerned About Air Pollution And Climate Change And The Public Health
From: Mon Valley Clean Air Coalition, June 27, 2022
Later this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be proposing the full version of its much anticipated rule limiting climate-changing methane, asthma-causing volatile organic compounds (VOC), and the known carcinogen benzene from new and existing oil and gas facilities.
We need the EPA to propose the strongest rule possible in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Methane pollution has 87 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide over a 20-year time period. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted an “above average” hurricane season for the 7th consecutive year.
