Environmental rights are an extension of the basic human rights that mankind requires and deserves. In addition to having the right to food, clean water, suitable shelter, and education, having a safe and sustainable environment is as critical as any other rights are dependent upon it. California’s environmental laws are enforced by both state and local agencies, each charged with enforcing the laws governing air pollution, water pollution, hazardous waste pollution, solid waste pollution, pesticide pollution, and other pollution laws.
The EPA has identified six pollutants as “criteria” air pollutants. These six main air pollutants are:
Other noted air pollutants:
Asbestos, Benzene, Carbon Disulfide, Creosote, Fuel Oils/Kerosene, Polycyclic Aromatic, Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Synthetic Vitreous Fibers, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
If you’ve been harmed by any type of air pollution or contamination, have your health or well-being damaged, or have witnessed illegal air pollution, you may have a legal claim.
