Burning Issues has an international membership and was founded by Mary J. Rozenberg, at the Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra Club Clean Air Committee in 1987. It is devoted to the improvement of ambient air quality through the reduction of Particulate Pollution, i. e., solid particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter.
The most common sources of Particulate Pollution are residential wood burning (RWB) and coal burning, forest and agriculture burning, and diesel and auto exhaust. The extent of the severity of the fine particulate problem can be grasped in the estimate that 60,000 people die annually in the United States from the effects of these particles. Once emitted they are impossible to clean up. More than half of the fine particulate is caused by fewer than 10% of the population using the dirtiest fuels for recreation and heating.
The principal activity of Burning Issues is the collection and dissemination of the latest science information regarding health effects, economic impacts, and individual actions to reduce and stop solid fuel combustion. Burning Issues also actively does particulate monitoring and has published the results.
$The Central States Region of the Clean Air Revival was established in January 2008.
Through expansion and dedication of many volunteered hours the Clean Air Revival has expanded to different regions of the country. CAR, Inc. hopes to expand even more in the future, but as many other organizations are aware sometime financial burdens hinder future plans. If at all possible please give, through a tax deductible donation. At this time all donations are filtered through the home office in California then are dispersed to each respective region.
We are hoping to expand even larger throughout our country and eventually internationally.
