Protecting Clean Air for All

Healthy Clean Air is a basic human need. As a manufacturing and transportation hub, the Midwest has struggled with many sources and types of air pollution. From courtrooms to hearing rooms to busy street corners, ELPC fights for clean air for all.

ELPC attorneys and advocates implement, enforce, and defend the Clean Air Act. We work to reduce pollutants like smog, mercury, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases that harm human health and wildlife. We partner with community groups, providing technical tools and training to monitor air quality. We bring legal firepower to clean up toxic hotspots and hold polluters accountable. And we work with legislators to improve clean air laws and regulatory standards.
