Comment letter attached from the 3 pediatricians who are Co-Chairs of the Climate and Environmental Health Committee of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (PA AAP), who represent the PA AAP and its nearly 2,300 pediatrician members in applauding the EPA on their ongoing efforts to curb downwind effects of air pollution. In doing so, the EPA can secure the reduction of air pollution in local communities. We are in full support of the EPA's proposed Good Neighbor Plan to address ozone pollution given the known harmful effects air pollution, including ozone and nitrogen oxides, has on the health of children.
