BREAKING: The @EPA just finalized a rule that threatens federal standards for mercury, lead and other toxic air pollution from power plants, risking more premature deaths, asthma and heart attacks. We will fight this! on.nrdc.org/2VdjRj2
Poisons from power plants like mercury and lead can damage children’s developing nervous systems and reduce their ability to think and learn. Other air hazardous pollutants cause numerous health hazards, including cancer, heart attacks, strokes and various respiratory illnesses.
“The only ones who benefit from this are powerful polluters—at the expense of our health and our children’s health. We can do better, we must do better, and we are going to fight this in court to make sure we do.” — @GinaNRDC
