EPA to stop calculating money and lives saved by curbs on air pollution

EPA to stop calculating money and lives saved by curbs on air pollution

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that it will no longer calculate the healthcare cost savings and lives saved by air pollution regulations for fine particulate matter and ozone. This move aligns with the Trump administration's approach, which has prioritized the cost to industry over the public health benefits of environmental regulations. The decision is part of a broader shift in the EPA's policies, which have seen the rollback of several measures designed to protect human health and the environment, as well as slow down climate change. The article suggests that this change reflects the Trump administration's business-friendly agenda, which has often come at the expense of safeguarding public welfare and the natural environment.
