HARRISBURG, August 11 - -
State Sen. Shirley Kitchen today applauded
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection for awarding a $121,400 grant to
the Delaware Valley Regional Planning
Commission under the Pennsylvania Air
Pollution Control Program.
“Air quality is a top concern
among cities as large as Philadelphia,”
Kitchen said. “This grant money will go a
long way to educate our citizens on how to
preserve the atmosphere and keep the air we
breathe less polluted with dangerous
chemicals.”
The grant money will be used to
actively educate the public in Philadelphia,
Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery
Counties about ground level ozone pollution
and the steps that can be taken to reduce
the chemical precursors that form ozone. |
