Take Action: Legislative and Policy Action Alerts
Tell the Iowa DNR: "Expand Iowa's air monitoring system and hold polluters accountable for their toxic pollution in Siouxland."
Woodbury County asthma rates were the highest in the state in 2024 and 2025. Heavy industry, two nearby MidAmerican-owned coal-fired power plants, high traffic volume, and food processing operations all contribute to the area's poor air quality. For residents living with asthma and other respiratory conditions, access to real-time air quality information is not just helpful — it is essential. Knowing when major polluters are releasing emissions helps vulnerable individuals protect their health by staying indoors or using air purifiers.
Stand with Siouxland residents in calling on the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to expand its monitoring beyond the minimum requirements and ensure that every resident has the information they need to protect themselves and their loved ones. Click here to add your name to the petition.
