The Environmental Protection Agency proposes new cuts to heavy vehicle emissions, targeting those chemicals that produce lung-damaging smog.
The Biden administration is proposing new emission standards that would reduce smog-forming pollutants from tractor-trailer trucks, buses and other heavy duty vehicles as part of a multi-year plan to improve air quality across the nation.
“Those overburdened communities are directly exposed to pollution that leads to respiratory and cardiovascular problems,” Regan said at a White House event unveiling the rule and other measures being taken by the Biden administration to reduce transportation-related pollution and greenhouse gases.The proposed EPA rule will set “new, ambitious standards to significantly reduce emissions from smog and soot” and reduce risks posed by such pollution to vulnerable communities, he said.
“The first time I went to Mira Loma you could taste the metal in the air,” she said, adding that studies showed children in the town suffered from the poorest lung development in the state.
