People leaving in this scorching heat should understand more and more of spending time out in this weather. We need to spread the good word!

Thought I would add a suggestion that the EPA get serious about the environmental, health, and cost impacts of light pollution. The effects are just as damaging as air and water pollution. The EPA should not be ignoring light pollution. Based on the lack of light pollution coverage on the EPA web site, they are ignoring this serious problem.

For people spending long periods of time outside in the summer, ozone pollution is one of the major concerns. This chart shows the health concerns for different pollutants: http://www.epa.gov/aircompare/health.htm

EPA research is working to learn more about the cardiovascular effects of air pollution ( http://www.epa.gov/airscience/air-cardiovascular.htm ) and to support air quality standards ( http://www.epa.gov/airscience/air-airqualitystandards.htm )

I had always wondered why low quality air days were normally sunny days. Explains why cities such as Los Angeles (where its always sunny and congested) are known for having poor air quality.

I encourage everyone to check out the EPA’s air quality index – as an avid outdoorsman I check it every time I’m about to spend a long amount of time in the sun!
