Winner of audience awards across the world, including Sundance, "The Cove" follows a team of activists and filmmakers as they infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. The movie is about a small town with a big secret and you can be one of the many people who are going to be moved by this film and pushed to action.

THREE WEST VIRGINIA SCHOOLS TO BE MONITORED FOR UNSAFE LEVELS OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION The outdoor air around three West Virginia schools will be monitored for unsafe levels of toxic air pollutants as part of EPA's initiative to protect children's health in about 60 schools nationwide. EPA's air monitoring devices will be installed at Follansbee Middle School, Neale Elementary School in Vienna and the Cabell County Career Technology Center in Huntington to monitor for toxics of concern. If high levels are discovered, EPA will ensure that nearby industries are in compliance with clean air regulations and will set out to reduce high pollutant levels. All monitoring data will be posted to the EPA's new Web site on Assessing Outdoor Air Near Schools at http://www.epa.gov/schoolair/

EPA RELEASES NATIONAL AIR TOXICS ASSESSMENT (NATA) REPORT EPA released its latest National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) report based on 2002 air emissions data which assesses 180 air toxics plus diesel particulate matter from stationary sources of all sizes and from mobile sources such as cars, trucks, buses and construction equipment. The report will increase understanding of the health risks posed by air toxics and provide the public with information regarding the levels which may cause cancer and other serious health problems, including birth defects. The NATA report results should be used to prioritize pollutants and areas for further study, and not as the sole basis for regulation or risk reduction activities.
