I think it is an area that we need to invest some funding in for research to find out how much the danger is and which mix is really the worst and what we can do about it.

Those costs add up to trillions of dollars lost every year in this Country.

Creating a healthier environment by controlling air toxins from mobile and stationary sources will benefit not only those most at risk, but indeed, all of us who depend on breathing clean air for optimal health.

I think we need to focus on making America's air as clean as we can as fast as we can.

Improving children's health doesn't appear to be sufficient motivation for some of the other side of the aisle.

it is my understanding that 2010 was one of the hottest years on record.

I didn't believe it, I rechecked the statistics twice that came out of the EPA.

In adversity lies opportunity.

We have a very special responsibility to our children to make sure they always have clean, safe air to breathe.

For me, that is just more than disappointing, it is almost heart-breaking.

Smog-causing air pollution from dirty power plants, from automobiles and other sources, is linked to serious health problems, like asthma, like strokes, like heart attacks, and even early deaths.

I have introduced legislation to reform TSCA to require all chemicals to be tested and proven safe.

Smog is especially dangerous, as we know, for our children.

We spend way more money than any other nation.

If you just make sure you respond for the record, that would be great.

The Environmental Protection Agency is now considering what I think are sensible rules to reduce smog-causing pollution as well as particle pollution, mercury pollution and other harmful air toxics.

I think that you are absolutely right, it is very likely that the mix of pollutants is going to be found to create more damage than any one individual.

As Senator Carper mentioned, children are outside for longer periods and are more active, especially in the summer when ozone levels are highest.

Is it possible that more ozone days could be one of those factors?

They cover everybody, they get better results.

As a U.S. Senator, I worry about every child's health. That's why I've worked so hard with my colleagues--Democrat and Republicans alike--to make sure that all our children have clean air to breathe.

High energy costs will result from the regulatory freight train of EPA regulations coming down the track.

As both a mom and a health care professional, I would absolutely be willing to pay $2 a month for clean air and to protect my children's health.

These are the very types of jobs that we need so desperately.

I have introduced legislation, a couple of Congresses, actually, but in the last Congress we introduced legislation that would reduce air toxics, reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions to levels that are very similar to what…
