Clean Air

The right to breathe clean air is a human right. We are here to help you advocate for that right!

WHE, in collaboration with other organizations, advocates for clean air in our region. Specific attention is given to the Mon Valley where industry pollution has been the main source of poor air quality. Coke oven emissions are classified as Group A, known human carcinogen according to the EPA.
