EPA set to abandon 30 years of air quality control. Take action!

In a recent statement, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) pointed out that the EPA is apparently doing the opposite of its job. The EPA is set to stop controlling emissions of lead.

But we don't have to stand for it. Click here to tell the EPA that it must continue to use the best available science to protect the air we breathe from dangerous lead pollution.
