Cleaner Air, Water and Better Health

Pass Bill Number (HB538, SB134) to put road pollution filters on all vehicles. Pass the Senate Bill relating to roadway particulate polluiton control that will be introduced by Senator Kalani English during the 2012 session.

Why is this important?

Hundreds of community health studies have linked daily increases in fine particle pollution to reduced lung function, greater use of asthma medications, and premature death.

Beyond the air contamination of tailpipe emissions, tire tread wear, leaking automotive fluids, brake pad deterioration, even dirty car-washing water and supplies are killing our reefs, affecting water quality and causing road pollution.
