EPA to Restore Mercury Pollution Rules that Were Axed By the Trump Administration

Science has been aware of the toxicity of mercury and the other heavy metals for more than half a century.  This is why we have unleaded gasoline and a campaign to remove lead-based paints.

True to form, the Trump administration, in its quest to make the rich richer, had removed restrictions on mercury emissions, understanding that, in so doing, it was deliberately damaging Americans’ health.

The current EPA has taken this one step forward in its concern for human well-being.
