'Clean-air showdown' on PM-2.5
Activists are planning a demonstration at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the headquarters of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District where board members are scheduled to hear about a new cleanup plan.
Activists and health advocates already have urged the district to improve the plan by attacking more sources of the pollutant. One groups, the Coalition for Clean Air, is calling it a "clean-air showdown."
How much would change in this showdown? That is uncertain. The board is expected to approve the new plan to clean up PM 2.5, tiny bits of soot and chemical debris that can be deadly.
The California Air Resources Board already has the plan on its agenda to consider approving it on May 22.
The Valley air district hearing begins at 9 a.m. at 1990 E. Gettysburg Ave.
