Our EPA and LEAD

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

There is an EPA proposal to remove lead from

monitoring and control under the National Ambient Air

Quality Standards. Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0735.

Lead is one of the most harmful toxins on Earth, and

is particularly hazardous for children. Lead poisoning

damages the major organs and causes (amonst other

ailments) osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart

disease, anemia, learning and memory problems, and

seizures.

 

I used the Union of Concerned Scientists' website to

comment to the EPA, and I hope you do too; or contact

the EPA directly (confusing). Go to:

http://www.ucsusa.org/ look on the right side for the

smoke stack and the take action link just above.

And please pass this on to everyone you can. Those of

you in California, contact Sen. Boxer, majority

chairman of the senate committee on environment and

public works, etc... Deadline for public comment:

February 5, 2007.

Thank You,

David Tarlo, L.Ac.
