SUMMARY:Air Quality 🌤 Awareness Week 🌎
DESCRIPTION:Working Together for Clean Air \nLearn more about air pollution and how you can reduce your contribution \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday\, May 1Air Quality and Your Health\nThe New Jersey Air Quality Flag program and “What’s in my Community” tool help increase the public’s air quality awareness\, particularly for sensitive individuals such as older adults\, children\, or those suffering from lung diseases (including asthma). Air quality awareness is an important step in the protection of public health. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubscribe to EnviroFlash for local air quality information sent to your email inbox or cell phone daily. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Air Quality Alerts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, May 2Air Quality and Air Monitoring\nNew Jersey has air monitors across the state that report current air quality levels. The monitors provide monitoring data used to determine whether the state is meeting the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for certain common pollutants: ozone\, particulate matter\, nitrogen dioxide\, sulfur dioxide\, carbon monoxide and lead. In recent years\, New Jersey has met all the standards except for ozone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, May 3Air Quality and Transportation\nTransportation remains the largest source of air pollution in New Jersey. Take steps now to limit your air quality impact when making transportation choices; reduce idling\, drive less\, carpool\, use transit\, walk\, bike\, scooter\, and/or switch to an electric vehicle. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, May 4\nAir Quality and Climate\nDid you know that air pollution not only contributes to climate change but exacerbates it? Excess carbon dioxide and methane mainly from burning fossil fuels raise the earth’s temperature\, a phenomenon called “The Greenhouse Gas Effect”. DEP’s first ever scientific report on climate change summarizes the effects of climate change on New Jersey’s environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know that New Jersey is the 6th fastest warming state in the nation? All New Jersey residents are affected by climate change\, especially those in the most vulnerable communities. Urban heat islands occur in urban areas where higher temperatures are observed than the surrounding suburban areas. It is critical that New Jersey considers urban heat islands and air quality in its resilience planning efforts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn how to combat the effects of Urban Heat Islands\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, May 5Environmental Justice and Air Quality\nAir Quality is important in overburdened communities because they are the most impacted by the effects of air pollution. New Jersey’s Environmental Justice Law\, N.J.S.A. 13:1D-157\, is one of the strongest and most empowering in the nation. The law was signed by Governor Murphy on September 18\, 2020 and requires the DEP to assess the environmental and public health impacts of certain facilities in overburdened communities when reviewing certain permit applications. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDEP adopted the Environmental Justice Rule on April 17\, 2023\, to implement New Jersey’s Environmental Justice law\, and released an updated Environmental Justice\, Mapping\, and Planning (EJMAP) tool. This tool can be used to view the overburdened communities throughout the state. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nSee all the air quality facts and actions for New Jersey Air Quality Awareness Week

SUMMARY:🔥🔥🔥EMR Air Permit Hearing🔥🔥🔥 Show up and testify about this Environmental Justice Issue!
DESCRIPTION:There is a Public Hearing TUESDAY 5/2 @6:00pm 201 N. Front St Camden about EMR’s (Camden Metal and Iron) pending air permit with NJDEP\n\nDETAILS: May 2\, 2023 between the hours of 6:00pm and 8:00pm at 201 N. Front St.\, Camden\, NJ 08102.\nLINK TO REGISTER: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SNFNDGG\n\nShow up and voice your concerns about EMR’s repeated fires that have been poisoning our communities! EMR has purposely not promoted this hearing and made it in person only to try and stop community members from attending. Show up and prove them wrong!\n\nEMR has fought the DEP to avoid having this air permit for its filthy scrap yard operations. They have fought against the passage of Environmental Justice laws in NJ and made it clear they do not value our health. Show up to hold EMR accountable and let the DEP know you care about your community’s health and lungs! EMR must do more to prevent air emissions and repeated toxic fires at their facilities.
