Dear Illinois Pollution Control Board :

Mercury pollution from Illinois coal plants is a danger to our health and our environment

. Please make sure

Illinois' mercury rule:

- Requires coal plants to reduce their mercury pollution by 90 percent by 2009

- Does not allow for "pollution trading" schemes that would let some polluters buy their way out of

cleaning up

-

Does not contain loopholes that would let some coal plants avoid installing the best available

pollution controls .

We should do everything we can to protect our children and all of us from the health threats posed by me,

pollution

. I urge you to protect our kids by adopting the strongest possible limits on mercury pollution from coal

plants

.
