| Dear Friend, |
From cleaner air, protections from toxic chemicals that hurt people and bees, new safety standards against chemical disasters, and cleaner transportation, this month we have seen positive movement on a variety of environmental issues that Earthjustice goes to court for. Some of these updates include:
- An insecticide linked to a nation-wide honeybee die-off remains banned in California after industry challenges were dismissed by the California Court of Appeals.
- The EPA finalized new safeguards in the event of a chemical disaster, which protects nearly 180 million people who live near chemical industrial facilities.
- A new rule was finalized regulating steel production which would prevent 64 tons of hazardous air emissions annually.
- Nearly 14 million people in the US live near facilities that emit one of the most toxic air pollutants – ethylene oxide. Now, a final rule updates regulations that will eliminate an estimated 90 percent of ethylene oxide emissions once implemented.
- There are new standards to lower tailpipe emissions from new cars starting in 2027, which will drive the country towards non-polluting, zero emissions passenger vehicles.
