The Trump administration is reportedly employing a more calculated approach to dismantle pollution protections than in its first term. Under directives from President Trump, the EPA is revoking Biden-era regulations intended to safeguard public health from toxic pollutants. This includes offering presidential exemptions to major pollution sources, allowing them to evade updated emission limits for extended periods. Simultaneously, the administration is complicating the monitoring of pollution's health impacts by removing crucial data from federal websites, thus hindering community advocacy efforts for cleaner air and water.
"No joke, they are trying to erase the [connection] between pollution and health impacts. It makes it almost impossible for communities to advocate for their own safety."
"The administrationâs actions represent a concerted effort to roll back environmental protections and put corporate interests ahead of public health and safety."
