While Trump undertakes to combat toxins, the Environmental Protection Agency moves to reduce the chemical rules
President Trump has repeatedly said he will face toxic chemicals – but many of his administration’s actions are expected to allow more pollution, and no less.
During his common speech to Congress earlier this month, Trump talked about a boy who blamed his cancer in chemical exposure, saying that the reflecting the high rates of child cancer in recent decades is “one of the priorities of the new presidential committee to make America healthy again.”
He added: “Our goal is to remove toxins from our environment, toxins from our food supplies and keep our children healthy and strong.”
On a broader scale, Trump adopted the slogan “Make America Healthy” again, saying that he will face toxic substances that threaten the welfare of Americans.
“President Trump’s agenda is evidence that we can restore American energy dominance with environmental supervision. White House spokesman Taylor Rogers said in an email message:“ President Trump is committed to replacing unacceptable foreign energy with liquid gold under our feet while making America healthy again by ridding our environment and water and food supplies of dangerous toxins. ”
After weeks of Trump’s second state, the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services appears to be ready to move towards chemical organization in food.
Kennedy said this week that the administration “will explore the status of potential rules” in response to a hole that currently allows companies to place chemicals in food without informing the organizers.
But the administration also took important steps to abandon the efforts made or decline to reduce the exposure to potential toxic substances.
Last week, a lawsuit aimed at forcing the company to reduce the emissions of the substance that the EPA considers the EPA probably may cause cancer in a already polluted area.
The administration also indicated that it is likely to reduce the accumulation of safety tests for chemicals that are likely to be harmful. Among the chemicals currently under the examination process, vinyl chloride, a toxic material used to make plastic plastic that was launched, along with other chemicals, on a train of train in Ohio in 2023. Trump has repeatedly responded to the Biden administration to crash over the campaign trail last year.
The administration also referred to plans to decrease the bases of the Biden era that aim to prevent chemical disasters in 12,000 industrial establishments, including manufacturers of distributors and distributors, oil refineries, food and beverage manufacturers, and agricultural supply distributors.
The Environmental Protection Agency has also announced a large list of environmental declines. Among the regulations, the agency says it may reflect a base of the Biden era that regulates cancer ethylene oxide emissions, which are used to sterilize medical devices.
In January, the Environmental Protection Agency also withdrew Biden’s era to put an end to the amount of “chemicals forever” that manufacturers are allowed to release them in water.
These chemicals are found- individual and polyotorogen substances known as PFAS, which can last very long in the environment instead of collapse- in common products such as non-sticky pans, water-resistant clothes and cosmetics. It was also linked to a wide range of diseases, including cancer, immune and fertility system.
In addition, the administration has appointed a number of former insiders in the chemical industry on the main roles within the Environmental Protection Agency. The highest official is currently used in the agency’s chemical safety office and pollution prevention to work in the chemical industry and pressure group.
Trump’s choice of role 2 in the Environmental Protection Agency represents a ban on asbestos in court. His candidate pressed his office in the air and radiation on behalf of the “chemicals forever” and ethylene oxide users, among other things. The administration also rented a 30 -year veteran from Chemical Dupont, which was historically made and used “chemicals forever”.
A spokesman for the Environmental Protection Agency has argued that the administration could balance the environmental protection and the economy.
“The Environmental Protection Agency no longer looks at the goals of protecting our environment and developing our economy as binary options. The spokesman said:” We will rise and we must choose both. “This week, the official [Lee] Zeldin participated in the first meeting of the Make American Healthy Committee again led by Minister Robert F. Kennedy Junior, our team at the Environmental Protection Agency is looking to cooperate closely about the ways to achieve President Trump’s goal of removing toxins from the environment and our food supplies and maintaining the health of our children and strength. ”
However, environmental defenders have seen warnings about the potential impact of management movements.
Daniel Rosenberg, Director of Federal Poison Policy at the Council of Defense of Natural Resources, described the appointment of individuals associated with the industry with high positions
“Every fox guarded the chicken house or chicken fold is a problem,” he said.
Eve Gartner, director of cross audio strategies at the Advocacy Group Earthjustice Group, said that the possible reduction in the administration in clarifying chemical safety offers will affect reviews of chemicals such as those released in eastern Palestine, Ohio, the train crash The extent to which the administration is eating.
She said that if the Trump administration has made the changes it indicated, it may “might ignore the effect of vinyl chloride on the societies of the fence line and societies along the transportation methods exposed to this type of disaster that we saw in eastern Palestine.”
On a wider scale, it warned that the pro -pressure management policies could lead to severe damage to Americans.
“We know that the rules adopted in the Biden administration will lead to great health benefits for societies, including low cancer rates and these rules will inevitably decrease will lead to more cancer, including more children with cancer,” said Gartner.
