2010 Annual Report
water is fundamental
Over the years, Clean Water Fund’s programs have grown to encompass a wide range of environmental and health concerns. But all of these issues and all of our work connect to clean, safe and affordable water. This remains the fundamental core of our work.
Our issues have never been more important than they are today. They cut across the entire spectrum of environmental concerns.
Healthy, Safer Families and Communities in New Jersey
Advancing "upstream" solutions that protect people from toxic harm by reducing and preventing pollution at its source. Replacing consumer, cleaning and pest control products with safer alternatives.
Making Democracy Work in New Jersey
Educating and empowering people to make a difference in public debates and policy decisions affecting their lives. Environmental justice requires decisionmaking that respects the rights of all to live in healthy communities. NJ Environmental Federation and Clean Water Fund members get involved by calling and writing their public officials, urging support for enviromental and health protection policies.

Focus on: Diesel
Diesel Pollution Makes Us Sick
Diesel engines emit a mixture of particles, metals and gasses including over 40 "hazardous air pollutants" as classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act. Diesel pollution can trigger asthma and cause lung cancer, stroke, and heart attack, contributing to 21,000 early deaths a year. Nationally, diesel exhaust poses a cancer risk that is 3 times greater than the combined risk of all air toxics assessed by EPA. Diesel exhaust is particularly dangerous because it is emitted at ground level - just where people breathe it in1 .
