I moved here to Clairton from Seattle when houses were cheap. People were so friendly. Then I found my health starting to decline. Some days I would get weak. I found out later that I would get weak on bad air days. In March 2019 my doctor told me to pack up and move but it is too hard for me to move now. We need to do something about the quality of life we have in Clairton.

**Attention Pittsburgh Residents!**
Today is an Orange Air Quality Action Day in Pittsburgh. This means the air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups such as children, elderly, and those with respiratory conditions. It`s crucial to take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones.
**Here are some tips to stay safe:**
1. Stay Indoors as much as you can especially if you`re in the sensitive group
2. Use Air Purifiers if you have one
3. Wear masks if you need to go outside,
4. Keep windows closed to prevent outdoor air from entering your home.
5. Monitor Symptoms: If you or a loved one experience symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, or chest pain, seek medical advice immediately.
Help us inform and protect our residents by reporting your air quality experiences at
Smellpgh.org
Share this information to spread awareness!

During stakeholder conversations shareholders meeting improvements to decarbonize and reduce harmful emissions were highlighted during the pending acquisition of U.S Steel.
This and many other subjects are also of concern to the residents who live in these environments but have not been apart of these life-altering decisions. The U.S. Steel sale will impact the physical, financial, and mental health of all who work and live around U.S. Steel plant so we ask to have more frontline people at the table. We ask for more transparency and engagement from Nippon and U.S Steel as this sale progresses.
