We\u2019ve made tremendous strides in improving air quality, reducing toxic lead and mercury pollution, addressing acid rain, and other remarkable achievements \u2014 all while the economy has grown and added jobs.<\/p>\n<p>We still have more work to do though. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lung.org\/our-initiatives\/healthy-air\/sota\/key-findings\/\">American Lung Association<\/a>, more than 125 million Americans live in communities with unhealthy levels of air pollution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry pushes for rollbacks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EPA senior officials are due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2017\/03\/01\/2017-04107\/enforcing-the-regulatory-reform-agenda\">present a report<\/a> to Pruitt today on their progress in identifying safeguards to repeal or roll back \u2013 not even two weeks after the rushed public comment period ended.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to know if this report will be made public, but we are starting to get a glimpse of the input that Pruitt and his team are hearing from those who oppose vital safeguards.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.api.org\/~\/media\/Files\/News\/Letters-Comments\/2017\/5-15-17-API-Comments-on-specific-regulations.pdf\">American Petroleum Institute<\/a>\u2019s (API) 25-page list of requests includes weakening protections against smog and undercutting common-sense standards to curb harmful methane and toxic air pollution from oil and gas production.<\/p>\n<p>API\u2019s list also complains that EPA\u2019s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Panel is \u201cbiased\u201d because \u201cit can be difficult for industry representatives to be included on the committees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As we wrote about in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/blog\/2017\/05\/05\/trump-asked-industry-which-environmental-rules-target-next-here-are-5-their-most\">earlier post<\/a>, these industry requests come on top of an earlier solicitation by the Trump Administration for industry proposals to roll back protections \u2014 one where trade associations brazenly asked for cuts to important health studies and safeguards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Politicians target safeguards against mercury, smog, and other dangers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One remarkable <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ago.wv.gov\/Documents\/EPA%20Regulations%20Letter.PDF\">letter to EPA<\/a> came from eight state politicians. As has been well documented, while Scott Pruitt was Oklahoma\u2019s Attorney General he spearheaded an intertwined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/12\/07\/us\/politics\/energy-firms-in-secretive-alliance-with-attorneys-general.html\">alliance<\/a> between state attorneys general and major fossil fuel industries \u2014 going so far as to submit industry requests to EPA on Oklahoma letterhead and later <a href=\"http:\/\/newsok.com\/article\/5374189\">noting<\/a> that\u2019s \u201cactually called representative government in my view of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the new letter, Pruitt\u2019s attorney general allies detail a list of twenty bedrock safeguards to weaken or eliminate. These include protections against mercury pollution, smog, soot, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>These eight politicians even ask EPA to reject the agency\u2019s science-based conclusion that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare \u2014 a conclusion based on an extensive, exhaustive record that was upheld by a federal court of appeals several years ago. Their letter makes no mention of the citizens who would be sickened and harmed by these roll backs.<\/p>\n<p>The signatories are the attorneys general from Michigan, Oklahoma, Indiana, Alabama, Arkansas, West Virginia, Louisiana, and South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/02\/shutterstock_3243574012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-15851 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/02\/shutterstock_3243574012-300x159.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/02\/shutterstock_3243574012-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/02\/shutterstock_3243574012-768x406.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2017\/02\/shutterstock_3243574012.jpg 921w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Scott Pruitt: don\u2019t put Americans\u2019 health at risk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With EPA\u2019s help, we\u2019ve made remarkable progress in cleaning up our air and water.
