About CAB

Section 27. Natural Resources and the Public Estate:

The people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania's public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come. As trustee of these resources, the Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all the people.

The Clean Air Board of Central Pennsylvania is a faith-based citizens’ initiative dedicated to achieving clean air to protect our health and quality of life.

Alarmed by the deteriorating air quality in Cumberland County caused by PM 2.5 (soot), as noted in the following August 2005 public letter signed by over three-quarters of Cumberland County physicians, a faith-based group of concerned citizens formed the Clean Air Board of Central Pennsylvania (CAB).

With input from residents, educators, health professionals, government, and industry, CAB’s goals are to raise community awareness and to have air pollution in Central Pennsylvania reduced to levels at which our air is safe to breathe.
