It's encouraging news, we're very pleased at the improvement. However, cleaner is not clean enough.

It's something to cherish and it's something to celebrate, but it's also something to protect.

We do have a huge problem with air pollution in Ohio and part of the reason is the power plants ... which are old, dirty and burn coal.

This study further proves that cleaning up big polluters does help protect public health.

We have mounting scientific proof that cleaning up the source of air pollution results in cleaner air and less illness and death. A study recently released showed that when particle air pollution declines in a city, the death rates also drop in that city.

We never count our chickens until they are actually published. The sooner we can get these regulations in place, the sooner communities can start benefiting from them.
