EPA moves to repeal landmark finding that allows climate regulation President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change

🚨 EPA is trying to erase the science that says climate pollution is dangerous. Gutting the endangerment finding would strip away essential tools used to regulate greenhouse gases.
This is a blatant attack on public health and a green light for climate denial.

Why indoor air quality must be a global health priority Indoor air pollution causes millions of deaths yearly yet remains ignored. That's why clean indoor air quality must be a global health and policy priority.

When most people think of air pollution, they think of outdoor pollution from sources like traffic and industrial emissions. But data shows that people are normally exposed to the highest concentrations of air pollutants indoors, in spaces typically considered safe.
