Air Quality
Public health begins with clean air.
In the absence of clean air, the community suffers.
Advocating for improved air quality is a foundational objective for many GEC initiatives, including monitoring the compliance (or lack thereof) of local industries with federal, state, and local clean air standards.
An alternate method of filing a complaint by directly contacting the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.
This process, detailed below, is slightly longer but equally as effective.
-
Take detailed notes of the conditions before filing the complaint: wind direction, temperature, narrative description of air quality or odor if present, along with any immediate health issues experienced (headaches, nausea, vomiting, coughing, difficulty breathing, etc). Include the date, time, and approximate location where you experienced air quality impairment.
