Rapid Growth Media wrote a feature article on the West Michigan Clean Air Coalition (WMCAC), highlighting the Coalition’s partnerships with local business and industry, academia and governmental agencies, including GVMC. GVMC provides staff to serve on the WMCAC and run the Clean Air Action program in Kent and eastern Ottawa County. The purpose of the Clean Air Action program is to call Action Days when air pollution levels are high enough that sensitive groups (children, the elderly, those with heart and lung disease, and those who are active outdoors) might start to experience negative health impacts, and to educate the community about making positive choices for air quality, not only on Action Days, but every day. As summer approaches, the likelihood of seeing Action Days increases.
