ATS statement regarding White House decision to delay new ozone standard
Post on: 2011-09-05 By: admin
A number of physician groups have called upon President Obama to issue a stricter ozone standard, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Thoracic Society.
"President Obama's announcement today represents a big set back for the public's health," said Dr. Kraft. "The ATS urges the President to reconsider today's disappointing decision, and we plan to redouble our efforts to educate and advocate for cleaner air for the benefit of all U.S. citizens."
###Dr. Kraft is available for press interviews. She can be reached through Brian Kell, ATS Communications Director, at 516-305-9251.
