| Comment | The Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health, representing over a half of a million clinical practitioners in the US has issued a call to action to policy makers and industry to recognize climate change as the greatest threat to public health in this century. A recent Harvard study shows that even a slight increase in exposure to particulate air pollution correlates with a great increase in mortality from COVID-19. I live in Contra Costa County, which received an "F" in air quality in the most recent American Lung Association State of the Air 2020 report. I strongly urge the members or the CA Air Resources Board to adopt policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, including the proposed Clean Trucks Regulation. Respectfully, Lisa F Chang, MD |
