Comments on: Science Wednesday: Clear Air for All? EPA Seminar Focuses on Research Exploring How Social, Geographic Differences Impact Air Quality http://blog.epa.gov/blog/2010/08/sw-clear-air-for-all/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sw-clear-air-for-all EPA's Blog About Our World Wed, 22 May 2013 12:21:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Andrea Delgado http://blog.epa.gov/blog/2010/08/sw-clear-air-for-all/comment-page-1/#comment-33301 Andrea Delgado Wed, 18 Aug 2010 16:11:15 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=3466#comment-33301 Thank you for this informative article! Although it may be difficult to mitigate the social and economic factors that confine certain populations (low-income and communities of color) to areas with poor air quality, this data helps me inform Latino organizations and communities I work with about the importance of cleaner transportation options as a public health imperative and a component of the fight for comprehensive climate change and energy policy.

This information will resonate with the people we talk to at the Regional Latino Leadership Briefings on Climate Change that the National Latino Coalition on Climate Change (NLCCC) holds throughout the year.

Keep up the good work!

I worked at a nursing home so I was on my feet all day every day. My asthma got really bad. My mental health suffered. I have been walking at least 3 blocks a day for 20 years. Even roadside walks are bad on the lungs and heart. and the whole body.

Please don’t think of dichotomy between social and environmental. If we see the disaster, it make many suffering to destruct infrastructures, people injured, water and air pollution, epidemic of diseases, economically and social problem, and change of ecology. There are ecosystem differentiation between before and after disasters. Environmental, now…, but in the future, it is masterpiece of the people who journey look for the hegemony, around The Universe. Environmentalism….

Thanks for sharing. I’ve looked at the online data for one of the EPAs(?) ambient air monitors near I-35 and a school here in Dallas. The levels were actually lower than I would have expected.
