The Biden administration has finalized regulations tightening restrictions on fine particulate matter emissions, aiming to improve public health by reducing pollution.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims the new rules will prevent premature deaths and yield significant health benefits, but industry associations warn of economic consequences, citing potential job losses and economic impacts.
The regulations are more stringent than those of other countries, and industry representatives argue that the focus should be on reducing non-industrial emissions.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan said, “Today’s action is a critical step forward that will better protect workers, families and communities from the dangerous and costly impacts of fine particle pollution.”
“The science is clear. Soot pollution is one of the most dangerous forms of air pollution and is linked to a range of serious and potentially deadly illnesses, including asthma and heart attacks,” he continued.
