Trump’s EPA quietly revamps rules for air pollution | TheHill
'The Trump administration has quietly reshaped enforcement of air pollution standards in recent months through a series of regulatory memos. '
'Environmentalists and public health advocates say the memos could greatly increase levels of air pollutants like mercury, benzene and nitrogen oxides. '
'The EPA is now allowing certain facilities to be subject to less-stringent regulations and is letting companies use friendlier math in calculating their expected emissions. '
'That means companies can use a more industry-friendly emissions calculation when they argue that a particular project would reduce emissions. '
'The Environmental Integrity Project looked at 12 industrial plants in the Midwest and concluded they could increase their pollution to 540,000 pounds annually, a fourfold growth. '
