A Center for American Progress (CAP) report claims the EPA’s actions contradict Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” (Maha) campaign goals.
The EPA has granted waivers to 170 facilities, potentially exposing over 565,000 children to pollution.
CAP argues that these EPA actions endanger children, increasing their vulnerability to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and autism.
The EPA, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, seeks to repeal standards like the Mercury and Air Toxic Standard (MATs).
The EPA finalized a rule to delay compliance deadlines for methane pollution.
The EPA called CAP’s findings “fake news,” stating it aligns with Maha and the Trump administration, claiming to protect both the environment and public health.
