They ignored public input and the latest body of health science, and decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/pm-pollution\/final-decision-retain-national-ambient-air-quality-standards-particulate-matter-pm\">keep a weak standard in place<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The decision by Trump\u2019s EPA means that Americans \u2013 particularly Black, Latino, Indigenous and other communities of color \u2013 will be exposed to elevated levels of harmful air pollution. It\u2019s a decision that the incoming Biden-Harris administration should immediately reverse and replace with strong standards that reflect the clear scientific evidence and protect all Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three things you should know:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>The science is clear. Our current national soot standard does not adequately protect Americans\u2019 health.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Particulate matter refers to small airborne particles that are emitted by fossil fuel combustion, usually from the transportation sector, power generation, and oil and gas production. Particulate matter penetrates deep into the lungs and can cause a variety of health complications. It\u2019s linked to asthma attacks, bronchitis, heart disease, and tens of thousands of premature deaths every year in America<\/p>\n<p>The latest health science considered by EPA unequivocally points to the need for a more protective standard. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/naaqs\/particulate-matter-pm-standards-policy-assessments-current-review-0\">EPA\u2019s own analysis<\/a> of 47 urban areas found that even if the weak current standard was universally met, long-term particulate matter exposure would still be associated with as many as 52,100 premature deaths each year.<\/p>\n<p>The current standard for particulate matter is 12 micrograms per cubic meter. EPA\u2019s record shows that if the standards were lowered to 9 micrograms per cubic meter, it could save as many as 34,600 lives each year.<\/p>\n<p>Dominique Browning, co-founder and head of Moms Clean Air Force, <a href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fclimate-environment%2F2020%2F12%2F07%2Ftrump-air-pollution%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7Csstein%40edf.org%7C3b01906fdebe4676259908d89ac7f8b2%7Cfe4574edbcfd4bf0bde843713c3f434f%7C0%7C0%7C637429530959886148%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=ZuDu89pRCOc9YaffWVbgd%2FY72ERmsj6aTxq%2FlC8Frvo%3D&amp;reserved=0\">told the Washington Post<\/a> today that \u201c[t]his flies in the face of good science and good public health. It is outrageous. It builds in years more of assaults on the human body, especially in places where people are breathing the worst of it. It just basically sends a message of not caring about people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>EPA ignored the serious environmental justice implications of its decision to keep the current soot standards.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EPA\u2019s failure to set a sufficiently protective soot standard threatens the health of all Americans, but it disproportionately harms Black, Latino and low-income communities because of their proximity to industrial facilities, ports and freeways.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/ajph.aphapublications.org\/doi\/abs\/10.2105\/AJPH.2017.304297?journalCode=ajph\">2018 study by EPA scientists<\/a> found that \u201c[n]on-White populations overall experienced 1.28 times the burden of the general population, and Black populations, specifically, experienced the greatest degree of disparity in the siting of PM emitting facilities at national, state, and county levels, burdened with 1.54 times the PM emissions faced by the general population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bridgette Murray, a retired nurse who lives in a historically Black neighborhood in east Houston that has long suffered from air pollution, also <a href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fclimate-environment%2F2020%2F12%2F07%2Ftrump-air-pollution%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7Csstein%40edf.org%7C3b01906fdebe4676259908d89ac7f8b2%7Cfe4574edbcfd4bf0bde843713c3f434f%7C0%7C0%7C637429530959886148%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=ZuDu89pRCOc9YaffWVbgd%2FY72ERmsj6aTxq%2FlC8Frvo%3D&amp;reserved=0\">spoke to the Washington Post<\/a> today. She called our current soot standard \u201can artificially-high standard that is supportive of industry.\u201d The Houston Ship Channel, a freeway, warehouses and industrial facilities surround Murray\u2019s community. \u201cVery little is being done to help those who are exposed to that pollution on a day-to-day basis,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>EPA\u2019s Integrated Science Assessment and Policy Assessment both acknowledge the disproportionate impact of PM2.5, noting that there is \u201cstrong evidence for racial and ethnic differences in PM2.5 exposures and in PM2.5-related health risk. Such analyses indicate that minority populations such as Hispanic and non-Hispanic black populations have higher PM2.5 exposures than non-Hispanic white populations, thus contributing to adverse health risk in non-white populations (U.S. EPA, 2019, section 12.5.4).\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sites\/production\/files\/2020-01\/documents\/final_policy_assessment_for_the_review_of_the_pm_naaqs_01-2020.pdf\">Final Policy Assessment<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>However, when the Trump EPA proposed keeping the current standards, it wrote that \u201cthis action does not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income populations and\/or indigenous peoples.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2020\/04\/30\/2020-08143\/review-of-the-national-ambient-air-quality-standards-for-particulate-matter\">Federal Register announcement<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Trump EPA\u2019s rushed review process \u2013 forced through during a pandemic \u2013 prevented full public participation \u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s EPA departed from longstanding practice for this review, eliminating key scientific expertise and shortening or eliminating opportunities for public review.<\/p>\n<p>The administration\u2019s rushing of the scientific review process minimized the scientific evidence that supports tightening these life-saving protections. The While House Office of Management and Budget canceled scheduled meetings to discuss this evidence with public health and environmental group. EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler even disbanded EPA\u2019s own particulate matter subcommittee, which has the epidemiological expertise needed to review the standard. That prevented a robust evaluation of the relevant health science. In addition, the public comment periods for key documents were shortened, despite extra complications in submitting comments because of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s decision is only one piece of the Trump administration\u2019s broad-based assault on public health, including the health of vulnerable communities.
