Trump admin has loosened restrictions on toxic power plant pollution, including releases of neurotoxins mercury & lead. On Friday, it revoked portions of Biden-era standards that tightened restrictions on how much mercury, lead & arsenic these plants can release President Trump to rescind what would have upped mercury controls by 70% for a subset of power plants that use a type of coal known as lignite. The Trump rule, which would reinstate 2012 standards, would have these plants operating under looser mercury limits than other coal plants. The Biden-era standards also would have sought to reduce emissions from all coal plants of lead, nickel & arsenic by 67% Mercury & Lead are neurotoxins & arsenic is a carcinogen & exposure can cause cancer.
