Hey, remember when the invincibly ignorant Left and TV comics derided Reagan for stating that trees cause air pollution? ...The Environmental Protection Agency says some trees release as much as 10,000 times more biogenic (naturally formed) volatile organic compounds -- creating ozone and other unhealthy particulates -- than more atmospherically friendly "low emitters." "These compounds are particularly important because they create ozone and fine particulate matter, which are damaging to the human respiratory system," says the EPA's California Air Resources Board, which studied more than 1,400 tree species and rated them for their various pollution effects and pollen production. Now, the EPA is telling people to consider a tree's impact before planting. "Low emitters" include the Chinese hackberry, avocado, peach, ashes, sawleaf zelkova and the Eastern redbud. Some "high emitters" are the London plane, California sycamore, liquidamber, Chinese sweet gum, goldenrain and the scarlet, red and willow oaks. washtimes.com Of course Reagan was correct, as anyone who has visited the Smoky Mountains knows. Nice to know that the EPA has come up to speed, even though twenty+ years late.
