Every day, the average adult breathes over 3,000 gallons of air. Because they breathe even more air per pound of body weight, children are more sensitive to the harmful effects of air pollution. | ||||||||||||

Air pollution from tailpipes and smokestacks continues to be a problem that threatens our health. In Georgia, Atlanta is no longer the only city grappling with unhealthy air, as Macon, Augusta, and Columbus are also increasingly challenged to achieve and maintain their air quality above the federal standards. To help improve Georgia’s air quality, the Georgia Conservancy launched Mothers & Others for Clean Air , which educates the public about the health effects of dirty air, promotes actions that will improve air quality, and advocates cleaner air policies. The Georgia Conservancy works with a range of government officials – from transportation planners to state air quality officials - to improve air quality throughout the state. We also work closely with the newly launched Georgia Air Coalition, which is a coalition of groups dedicated to achieving clean and healthy air for all Georgians. The Georgia Conservancy is committed to making sure that Georgians can breathe easy when it comes to air quality. |
