The EPA has launched an electronic mailbox allowing companies to request presidential exemptions from the Clean Air Act, prompting backlash from environmental groups. Critics argue this move, reportedly directed by President Trump, gives a free pass to polluters, undermining environmental protections against hazardous emissions. The provision in question could exempt sources of air pollution from regulations governing pollutants like mercury and arsenic for up to two years. This initiative has been condemned as detrimental to public health, with advocates decrying it as a regressive step towards environmental deregulation.
