A resolution recognizing that particulate matter pollution can cause heart attacks, asthma, strokes, and premature death.

Particulate matter pollution poses serious health risks and the EPA should maintain strong national protections. This resolution would recognize that particulate matter are tiny particles that can reach deep into the lungs and bloodstream and that exposure can trigger heart attacks, asthma, bronchitis, reduced lung function, and premature death. It would also state that the Environmental Protection Agency should maintain and enforce safe nationwide standards for particulate matter.
