People Are Dying: We Need Clean Air

People Are Dying: We Need Clean Air

When it comes to air pollution from coal mining, the NSW Government’s “Clean Air Strategy 2021-2030” offers nothing new to clear the air for the people of the Hunter region.

Asthma rates are even higher in Muswellbrook than the rest of the Hunter, and adolescent asthma and deaths from respiratory illness are significantly higher in the Hunter than elsewhere in NSW.

Coal mining is the biggest human source of the particulate air pollution that causes respiratory illness but the NSW Government just keeps on approving expanded open cut coal mining next to towns and villages. 

The people of the Hunter need your help. Please make a submission telling the EPA and Environment Minister Matt Kean that health comes first and urgent action is needed to curb air pollution from coal mining.
