Recently, the EPA announced plans to roll back numerous environmental regulations which primarily target air pollution, a decision defended by Administrator Lee Zeldin as supportive of economic growth. However, this move jeopardizes the health benefits associated with current pollution limits. Notably, these regulations could prevent over 100 million asthma attacks by 2050. Compounding this issue, the HHS dissolved the CDC's asthma office, crucial for managing lung health, presenting a contradictory stance to the Trump administration's claims on pediatric health improvement. Experts emphasize these changes endanger public health significantly, especially for vulnerable communities.
These are programs that were keeping people alive...we are seeing the threat of a slew of air pollution rollbacks and lax enforcement at EPA.
The rollbacks and cuts contradict the Trump administration's stated goals of reducing childhood chronic diseases, including asthma.
