Submit a comment – Biden’s EPA must cut back on the power
industry’s emissions of air toxins.

EPA Proposes Strengthening Standards to
Cut Toxic Air Pollution from Power Plants

We know that limiting deadly air pollution from power plants
saves lives.
Tell EPA to further strengthen these air pollution standards!

Dear NRDC Activist,

NRDC and our partners just submitted comments from 580,000 people
urging EPA to cut deadly soot pollution from power plants. To
everyone who took action — thank you!

Next on our critical checklist for
cleaning up power plants: mercury and other toxic air pollutants.

EPA just proposed strengthening standards
that limit emissions of mercury and toxic air pollution from
power plants that burn coal and oil. These proposed new standards
would be a much-needed upgrade, but they don’t go far enough to
protect public health and the environment.

Tell EPA to further strengthen their
proposed standards to cut toxic air pollution from power plants!

The power sector is one of the nation’s
biggest polluters. Power plants are among the country’s largest
sources of arsenic, chromium, hydrogen chloride, and mercury, a
neurotoxin that can harm children’s developing nervous systems
and reduce their ability to think and learn.

Reducing power plant pollution has been
one of EPA’s core responsibilities under the Clean Air Act for
decades. The agency has a legal obligation to regulate hazardous
power plant air pollutants, which it first did in a 2012 rule
known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS).

While most coal plants have cut emissions
substantially under the original MATS, there are still some power
plants across the country emitting unacceptable levels of
hazardous air pollutants like mercury and metals.

EPA’s proposed update to the MATS power
plant pollution standards is a major step in the right direction.
The proposal would tighten the mercury emission limits for plants
that burn dirty lignite coal, and it would require continuous
pollution monitoring at all coal plants.

The new proposal would also tighten the
standard for hazardous particle pollution. With EPA taking
comment on a range of potential options for this standard, we
must encourage EPA to go with the most protective option.

Urge EPA to protect public health by further strengthening their
proposed new standards on mercury and toxic air pollution. ( [link removed] )

Cutting mercury and toxic air pollution
from power plants not only avoids neurodevelopmental delays in
children, but also reduces fatal heart attacks, lowers cancer
risks, and decreases cases of asthma. And we’ve already seen
significant evidence that strong standards are effective – EPA
estimates that its current MATS safeguards prevent up to 11,000
premature deaths, 4,700 heart attacks, and 130,000 asthma attacks
every year.

EPA should move quickly to further strengthen these standards to
ensure that all communities are better protected from the toxic
air pollutants that power plants emit. These public health
improvements are especially important for children and vulnerable
populations and for communities near coal-burning power plants.

Help save lives! Tell EPA to move quickly to finalize even
stronger safeguards against toxic air pollution. ( [link removed] )
