Currently, New York City stands in violation of federal Clean Air standards. As a result, asthma rates in some of the city's communities of color are four times the national average. The NAACP Brooklyn Branch, American Democracy Project, Medgar Evers College-CUNY, and SHARE: Safe Healthy Affordable Reliable Energy invite you to hear firsthand from medical, environmental, academic and civil rights experts how to reverse this disturbing trend and become a stakeholder in New York's environmental and energy future. The forum will be held in the Presidential Conference Center Room B1008 at Medgar Evers College-CUNY, located at 1650 Broadway Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11225. Continental breakfast and lunch will be served. Click here for more information or call 212-897-5842.

The link between high asthma rates in the Bronx and pollution is well documented. A new mapping study by Lehman College's Geographic Information Sciences Program shows just how grave it is. Researchers found that 66 percent of the borough's inhabited area is affected by major sources of pollution. EnCon ChairSubmitted by Stacy Feldman on Fri, 2007-02-09 14:50.
