Letters: Neighboring Resident Asks, Why Stop One Form of Pollution and Not Another?

Van Lamb, San Clemente

How hypocritical.

The San Clemente City Council votes to ban Styrofoam and considers banning plastic bags to prevent polluting the ocean but endorses bonfires that pollute our air.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District (check their website) has determined that wood smoke is a health hazard, with small particles that collect in the lungs. Unlike smog, which can be exhaled, these particles stick like tar from a cigarette.

Children are especially susceptible to the microscopic soot since they are closer to the ground they run around at play stirring up deposits and inhale them.

Studies have shown stunted growth in exposed kids.

Largely our ancestors had shorter life spans due to wood smoke inhalation. The AQMD has done a wonderful job cleaning up the air in Southern California. Ask Grandpa what smog was like here in the ’60s.

I don’t think they are overstepping their bounds in trying to provide clean air for all.

In fact isn’t it a clear case of the San Clemente City Council overstepping their bureaucratic boundaries to deny clean air to all area citizens?
