Trump’s EPA repeals landmark climate finding in gift to ‘billionaire polluters’ Rollback of government’s ability to limit climate-heating pollution will make families ‘sicker and less safe’, environmental advocate says

As EPA weakens air pollution regulations, Black women stand to face the greatest health risks They already face the highest rates of asthma-related mortality in the nation. Dirtier air will make that worse.

The EPA is shifting how it values our kids' health in air pollution rules. Less focus on "lives saved" could mean more smog in our neighborhoods. We need to demand that our children's breath stays the top priority! 🛑🫁 #CleanAir #AsthmaAwareness

EPA says it will no longer consider health costs in pollution regulations The EPA weakened emissions standards for new power plants and said it would no longer consider the economic impacts of public health in rule making.

😡😡Our children's health is not "zero dollars." 📉 The EPA just announced it will stop counting the economic value of lives saved when setting pollution rules. This could mean more smog and more asthma attacks for our kids. #EPA #CleanAir #AsthmaAwareness

EPA to stop calculating money and lives saved by curbs on air pollution Agency to focus rules for fine particulate matter and ozone only on cost to industry, aligning with Trump approach

The EPA is shifting how it counts the "cost" of pollution, but as moms, we know the real cost is measured in nebulizer treatments and ER visits. 🏥💔 Our kids' health shouldn't be a footnote to industrial savings. We need clean air! #AsthmaAwareness #ActOnClimate
