#Air #pollution still plagues nearly half of #Americans. That does a number on our #health
Report comes as Trump admin is rolling back some key air quality regulations. Air quality across country has improved dramatically since regulations like #CleanAirAct in 1970s to govern sources of pollution like #coal-fired #powerplants and #emissions from #diesel trucks. In 2023, nearly half of #US -- 156 million -- lived in places heavy in smog or soot pollution that harms health.

Congress: Protect the Air We Breathe, Defend Clean Vehicle Standards

When I was young there was no lichen in my area. Lichen is susceptible to air pollution and the air was just too bad. That has changed!

Write today to urge your member of Congress to defend our right to clean, breathable air by opposing any attempts to repeal key components of the Clean Air Act through the Congressional Review Act.

"The first #EarthDay in 1970 sparked a movement in the #UnitedStates that led to the #CleanAirAct, the #CleanWaterAct and the creation of the #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency. Today, the U.S. may be run by those who seem willing to squander the #economicopportunities of the #greeneconomy, but #cities around the world are already seizing them."

The Northern Cheyenne Tribe pioneered air quality monitoring in 1974, pushing for enhanced protections that influenced the 1977 #CleanAirAct amendments. This paved the way for communities nationwide to claim greater pollution protections. buff.ly/xImoAaT

#EPA launches full assault on #environmental protection

If there can be such a thing as bureaucratic “shock and awe,” EPA Admin Lee Zeldin tried to unleash it Wed

He unveiled the #Trump administration’s widely anticipated assault on regulation on all fronts at once, announcing 31 separate actions to roll back restrictions on air and water pollution, hand over more authority to states and relinquish EPA’s mandate to act on #ClimateChange under the #CleanAirAct.

*EPA tells White House* [flip that] to strike down landmark climate finding

#Trump’s EPA Admin #LeeZeldin has privately urged the WH to strike down a scientific finding underpinning much of the federal govt’s push to combat #ClimateChange, acc/to 3 people….

The 2009 “endangerment finding” cleared the way for regulating #GreenhouseGases under the #CleanAirAct by concluding that the planet-warming gases pose a threat to #PublicHealth & welfare.

The future of EVs in North America is now officially under threat. As #MotorMouth has long predicted, the #Trump administration is moving to overturn #California’s waiver to create its own #EV mandates. Indeed, the only thing we didn’t expect is how quickly the new president has launched his assault on the #GoldenState’s #CleanAirAct waivers.

Court rejects challenge to #California's clean air rules
When link between #gasoline vehicles and #smog was discovered, California was building clean air rules at the same time as the federal government.
Other states are allowed to follow these rules, but only if they copy them exactly. These are known as “section 177 states,” named after section of #CleanAirAct that grants waiver, or “#CARB” states, named for California Air Resources Board which creates #regulations.

#EPA Lets #California Set Its Own Stricter #Emissions Standards Until #2035
Regulations will phase out sale of new internal combustion cars by 2035.
#CleanAirAct allows states to apply for waiver from EPA to set their own emissions standards in cases where the federal regulations are insufficient to prevent deleterious #pollution. CA applied for latest waivers late in 2023, and after a public comment period and then a review by the agency, the EPA decided to approve them.

Greenwashing energy company Drax is in the news again, this time for violating Louisiana's permitted limits for hazardous air pollutants.

Not only does Drax cut down Canada's old growth forests, it pollutes America too. The new Labour government in the UK should stop using our public money to subsidise this corporate welfare cheat.

The lost history of what Americans knew about #ClimateChange in the 1960s
It wasn't just scientists who were worried, but Congress, the White House, and even Sports Illustrated.

"The research adds weight to arguments that Congress intended to give the #EPA a broad authority to regulate pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions."
