PPH- The Clean Air Act- 50 Years of Legal Pollution, with guest Monique Harden

Host Logan Burke discusses how air pollution affects our lives, communities, and nation with Monique Harden from the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice (DSCEJ). This coming Friday, December 31 is the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Clean Air Act- 50 years of legal pollution.

The title "Clean Air Act" is incredibly misleading- for 50 years this Act has allowed companies to legally release some of the most carcinogenic, mutogenic, hazardous, and harmful pollutants. Rather than keep pollutants out of our air, water, land, and bodies, the laws as written enable legal pollution by merely requiring companies to self-report emissions.​
