Eroding the Clean Air Act Will Make America Sicker, Dirtier and Poorer

The Clean Air Act, a significant piece of legislation credited with saving millions of lives, faces potential erosion as the EPA plans to cease calculating the benefits of certain proposed regulations. This shift raises concerns about the future of air quality and public health in America.

The implications of this decision could lead to increased pollution levels, negatively impacting the health of citizens and potentially resulting in higher healthcare costs. The move may also undermine the foundational goals of the Clean Air Act, which aims to protect the environment and public welfare.
