The US Environmental Protection Agency announced that it would try to overtake 31 climate, wind and water pollution, and emission regulations, and announcing that it was the “largest relationship in American history.”
Leading voices of environmental health say the overthrow of pollution and climate rules will damage the health of the people, though the Trump administration claims that there is no such link.
In a press release heartbroken, US environmental protection has announced that it will review or revise dozens of historical rules that begin for decades – although it is unclear which rules will be weakened or eliminated.
“Today, our nation is the biggest day of the irregularities. The EPA administrator said, “We are running a dagger in the heart of the religion of living for American families, removing American energy, bringing back the United States and more. Lee Zidon A Press statement.
According to Zoddon, if the EPA measures are approved through a period of public comment, the Trump administration will eliminate “trillions of dollars” in regulatory costs and “hidden taxes”.
Under the attack, the 2009 EPA is that it has been found that climate change pollution, including methane and carbon dioxide, has damaged human health. Without this “risky” clause, the EPA will clear the way to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions widespread.
“I have been told that the dangerous search is considered a sacred stone of climate change,” said one in one. Posted on Video X.
But environmental health experts have warned that changing this search will have a direct impact on health, and it is indicated how to protect the health costs for the EPA to reduce energy costs and regulatory burden.
“The potential increase in precision costs, environmental breakdowns and innovation will hinder consumers more costs and economic growth for consumers,” said EPA Og, former EPA, the former EPA of the EPA OG, Transportation and Air Quality.
“These measures will not make the United States great – they will just make the Americans sick,” he said in LinkedIn. Post.
President Trump’s Chief Environmental Officer has also announced plans to target 31 important regulations that will reduce wet land reservations, reduce climate pollution from vehicles and power plants, wastewater from coal plants, and air pollution from energy and manufacturing sectors, which includes a popular, popular, and a popular pollution. The administration also plans to eliminate the “good neighboring principle”, which requires states to deal with pollution in other states.
Wednesday’s announcements follow similar measures to promote US environmental protection, including offices dedicated to environmental justice, dismissing hundreds of EPA staff, and removing key scientific advisers.
Better health -linked air ‘unconscious’
Currently, EPA has worked under it Looking for a dangerWhich has determined that climate change pollution is at risk of public health and welfare. As a result of this several measures have been set up pollution standards Power PlantsCars and Freight truckAnd Oil and gas facilitiesAccording to the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Analysis.
The EPA claims that its actions reflect “the latest science” since the Supreme Court’s 2007 decision that greenhouse gases are considered as pollution under the Clean Air Act. But experts say the scientific evidence connecting climate change with negative health consequences has only increased.
Recent epidemiological modeling Studies Each year, 5-10 million deaths from air pollution. Particulatory substances and ozone pollution can also trigger asthma and respiratory diseases, as well as heart disease, stroke, chronic pulmonary diseases.
More widely, climate change can disrupt access to health care services, endanger infrastructure, and pose a risk of physical and mental health. EPA Web Page. Of the extreme weather, poor quality of air and water, floods, droughts and pest diseases are expected to continue to change global climate.
But under the EPA’s Corner Stone Clean Air Act, which included greenhouse gas emissions by this week, reducing mobile source emissions returns $ 9 in public health, environment and productivity every $ 1. Webpage.
“We have enough evidence that direct and indirectly changing pollution pollution is damaging health directly and indirectly,” George Washington Malik’s Dean, and former EPA official said in a statement to the Health Policy Watch.
“We need to counter the risks of harmful pollution using many tools, whether regular or providing economic privileges.
There is also an attack on a clean water regulation
EPA especially Single out How will the agency explain the “United States’ water”, which guides the method of preserving the waterways. A 2023 Supreme Court decision The definition of aquatic passages is the Act of the Act while protecting the narrow aquatic act Only “wet areas that spread with a permanent level connection with the bodies that are ‘the water of the United States’ on their own”.
After that, the leadership of Trump’s era has emphasized that it should only protect the “constant flowing body of water”, which should cancel the reservations of more than half of the areas, except for small, seasonal streams and in half of the US.
But environmental groups say the attack on wet areas is an attack on water quality.
“Without the protection of the clean water act for more than half of the wet areas in the United States, Americans are targeted by this principle, the Americans can expect: low quality drinking water, resulting in poor human health, less flexibility in flooding.” Azak Walton LeagueA protection and entertainment group.
Although Zodidon has promised US water safety, the Administrator Debate “”[t]He praised the previous administration’s’ United States’ water ‘and put an unfair burden on the American people and increased the cost of doing business.
“Our aim is to make American farmers, landowners, businessmen and families empower US water resources in accordance with land law, empowering great US return.”
Win ‘release of US power’ for industry
Fosel fuel, chemical and car industries have lobby for these rollbacks since the first Trump administration, and argued that the rules and regulations increase.
The EPA said it would get input from stakeholders during the Biden administration, such as wickets, developers and large industries.
The agency said in a statement, “By fulfilling the basic mission of protecting the EPA environment, the agency has promised President Trump’s promise to eliminate US energy, reduce the US auto industry, restore the rule of law, and to return the states to return power.”
Although the EPA efforts appear to counter the growing energy costs for US families, analysts expect Trump’s tariff war to increase. According to the United States’ wider energy sector, oil production now relys on metal, which is now tariff from Canada and Mexico. Industry experts.
In addition, EPA plans are likely to be challenged in court. “In comparison to the tremendous science, it is impossible to think that the EPA can promote a contradictory search that will stand in court,” said David Donager, a climate expert at the Environment Group, Natural Resources Defense Council.
Zodidon wrote in one, responding to the criticism that the EPA would harass the environment WSJ Roy “[n]Outring can be more than reality. Under the Trump administration, the main mission of the EPA protects human health and the environment. The difference lies in how we achieve these goals.
But critics say that decades of rules are restored by the US’s location as a leader of environmental health protection. “We are sacrificing our ability to guide the world in promoting the solution of intellect,” said Goldman.
