The Trump administration's approach to dismantling federal environmental programs raises significant concerns regarding public health and economic impact. Environmental watchdog reports emphasize that regulatory rollbacks threaten air and water quality, potentially resulting in nearly 200,000 premature deaths over the next 25 years and an increase in daily asthma attacks. These actions are at odds with claims of regulatory cost reduction from administration officials. Critics highlight the alarming nature of these rollbacks, fearing they might be overlooked amid political turmoil, and warn of dire consequences for health and the environment.
"We've never seen anything like the scale of the attack that we're seeing on public health and at EPA in particular... It's beyond troubling - it's infuriating."
The rollback of some of the nation's key environmental safeguards could lead to nearly 200,000 additional premature deaths... and cost the public six dollars for every dollar supposedly saved by regulated industries.
