Ten years ago in Air Quality in America: A Dose of Reality on Air Pollution Levels, Trends, and Health Risks, Joel Schwartz and I wrote this: Air pollution affects far fewer people, far less often, and with far less severity than is commonly believed. The air pollution-mortality claim deserves even greater skepticism. Well, you can imagine how this was received. The American Lung Association went as far as to ban us from their annual press conference for their egregiously sensational State of the Air report that year.

Air Quality in America shows in detail how activists have distorted the record on air pollution and offers an alternative analysis of air pollution levels, trends, and prospects in metropolitan areas across the United States.

Polls consistently show that most Americans believe air pollution has been getting worse and will continue to worsen in the future. Recent data, however, suggest just the opposite: Air pollution levels have been dropping for decades and will continue to do so in the years to come.The disconnect between public perception and reality is due in part to misleading, high-profile reports on air pollution by environmental activists, which consistently inflate current air pollution levels while downplaying favorable trends in air quality. Activists believe that air pollution will rise dramatically in the future unless the federal government enacts aggressive new regulations.Air Quality in America shows in detail how activists have distorted the record on air pollution and offers an alternative analysis of air pollution levels, trends, and prospects in metropolitan areas across the United States. Schwartz and Hayward examine key air pollution issues, including inflated accounts of pollution-related health risks and the negative effects of inaccurate emission inventories on policy choices.Clearly understanding the data on air pollution in America must be the first step toward formulating sound policies for the future.

Steelcaster

Disappointed since did not notice publication date was 2007. A bid old.

Bedy

Be warned that this book has a political agenda. It is written and published by the American Enterprise Institute, a right-wing think tank in Washington, DC.

Joel Schwarz and Steve Hayward have put together a solid evidence-based book that penetrates so much of the interest-group politics that passes for environmental science - and journalism - these days.

If people knew how much our air quality has improved over the past 30 years, they'd be stunned; not only by the gains, but by how the media have created a perpetual bad-news narrative built on spurious air quality standards designed to keep EPA bureaucrats in jobs. (Call them: asymptotic air quality standards.)

Anyone serious about the gains the US has made in air quality should read this book. It's, well, a breath of fresh air.

This book is a thoughtful, well-reasearched discussion on the need for more dialogue on a topic that affects our lives today and our children. The subject is often seen sa too wonk-ish or full of boring details and hard to undestand terms. The author does a great job of starting the dialogue that of this vital quality of life issue.
