Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action (MiCCA)  strongly encourages the EPA to strengthen the proposed SOOT standards to the level set by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee of 8 µg/m3 annually and a 24-hour range of 25 µg/m3 to ensure the health and well-being of citizens throughout the United States.

“From the consequences of poor air quality related to the wildfires in Canada to exacerbation of lung and heart problems from extreme weather events and their frequent subsequent power outages, practitioners in Michigan are seeing the health impacts of our changing climate in their offices, clinics, and hospitals today,” said Dr. Lisa Del Buono, Executive Director of Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action.

“We need to utilize every legislative and regulatory tool possible to urgently address climate change. EPA must move as quickly as possible to set the strongest carbon pollution standards for new and existing power plants, as well as set standards that reduce air and water pollution. These standards, along with the equitable implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, will save lives, avoid costly hospital and clinic visits, and improve the health of all Michigan residents today and into the future.” 

Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action commends President Biden and EPA Administrator Regan for finalizing strong methane standards on Dec. 2, 2023. As practitioners who see the health impacts of our changing climate in our offices, clinics, and hospitals each day, we recognize the urgent need to quickly and justly transition to a healthy clean energy future, and this is a substantive step in the right direction.
