Dana, an 8th grader at UPA said “Gas appliances produce a toxic gas called Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) These gasses can be highly toxic. I have a family member who is highly in danger because of health problems that are already affecting him. He’s only a year old.”
Thanks to everyone’s efforts, the law was passed!
