It matters more than ever to know what's in your air.
The problem? The network built to tell you has lost nearly half its monitors. floodlightnews.org/toxic-air…

Trump gave 202 facilities exemptions from clean-air rules. Now EPA political appointees are working to weaken the rules themselves.
This @nytimes investigation shows why Congress must demand answers. Our health comes first.

Big Oil giants ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy are trying to throw out a lawsuit by Boulder, Colorado, that seeks to hold them responsible for the damage their climate pollution caused. And they want to go a step further and stop anyone from holding them accountable in any state’s court system.
The time is now to protect the next generation of children from facing a dangerous cycle of chemical disasters.

From @careygillam: Newly disclosed industry files reveal what we already know: #Paraquat is a dangerous herbicide linked to #Parkinsons & other health harms.
@epa & states like WA should ban this highly toxic chemical that harms workers & communities.

HOLY COW! India just officially banned paraquat!
This means that of the 5 largest agricultural economies in the world (US, China, Brazil, EU and India), the US is the ONLY ONE to still allow its use
And we still use 12 million pounds a year 🤯

Last year, EPA began shuttering its Office of Research and Development, which employed independent scientists who evaluated toxic chemicals. Now it's moving to deploy AI to speed up approvals for new applications of toxic chemicals and pesticides. From @Aaron_Glantz via @csmonitor csmonitor.com/Environment/20…
