Submitted Comment Name Loren Zelmer Affiliation N/A Subject California Needs Reduce Harmful Vehicle Pollution Message Dear California Air Resources Board, I’m writing to urge you to take strong and swift action to reduce harmful pollution from cars, trucks, and other vehicles across our state. For decades, California has used its authority under the Clean Air Act to set stronger vehicle emission standards than the federal government — a vital tool for protecting public health. With that authority now under threat, it’s more important than ever for the state to find new ways to continue leading on clean air and climate. Dirty air is a MAJOR HEALTH HAZARD. Facts from the University of Chicago: "Fossil fuel-driven particulate air pollution cuts global average life expectancy by 1.8 years per person, according to a new pollution index and accompanying report produced by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago. The Air Quality Life Index establishes particulate pollution as the single greatest threat to human health globally, with its effect on life expectancy exceeding that of devastating communicable diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, behavioral killers like cigarette smoking, and even war. Critically, the AQLI reports these results in tangible terms that are relatable for most people."
