It's common sense: all of us deserve to be protected from chemical disasters. But Trump's EPA plans to roll back the Risk Management Program (RMP) putting corporate polluters ahead of its obligation to protect workers & families. Let them know enough is enough. Register at https://bit.ly/RMPhearing
“For fenceline communities and facility workers, this rollback is a declaration that our lives are deemed acceptable sacrifices,” said Ana Parras of @tejasbarrios.bsky.social

8/ It's yet another example of how dismantling EPA’s independent research paves the way for deregulation that harms our health. EPA has rolled back limits for PFAS in drinking water at the same time they're cancelling millions of dollars in grants for research on the health effects of PFAS exposure.

🆕 Update — #FarmBill reported out of the #House #AgCommittee early this morning #strips environmental and #publichealth #protections from #pesticides, reversing 90+ years of environmental laws adopted by #Congress to protect #farmers, consumers, and the #environment! ⚠️ #markup 🔗 ➡️ ow.ly/HPy850YpLL7
Last week, the EPA pushed the greenhouse gas emissions reporting deadline from March 31 to Oct. 30, saying it expects to finalize a proposal by then to eliminate the reporting requirement altogether. www.eenews.net/articles/epa...
"The voices of the Parkinson’s community, the voices of those who’ve been highlighting the toxic effects of this weed killer … are being heard and they’re having impact,” said Dr. Ray Dorsey.

This proposal makes it easier for toxic chemicals to enter our food, water, homes, and schools. Chemical safety protections help prevent cancer, infertility, learning disabilities, & other harms linked to toxic exposures. Congress should protect families and communities, not polluters.
🗣️ “...it is important that the #FarmBill not be used to prop up the chemical industry, but instead supports #organic agriculture that will not threaten vulnerable populations and the ecosystems that support life,” says Jay Feldman, ED at @beyondpesticides.org. #DailyNews ➡️ Blog: ow.ly/e2Oi50Yo49j

RMP facilities could also be let off the hook for having to conduct third-party safety audits after reporting a single accident.
That's not "common sense" -it's an irrational concession to industry at the expense of public health.
EPA proposed eliminating explicit requirements for RMP facilities to plan for extreme weather. Our analysis shows that facilities like ExxonMobil Baytown are failing to consider hurricane risks now. It could face 9 ft floods in a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane a/t NOAA.
.
EPA proposed eliminating requirements for nearly all RMP facilities to evaluate and implement safer alternatives in their existing processes - no matter how many disasters they've had.
More than 100 facilities regulated by the Risk Management Program have had more than one chemical incident in just the last five years. experience.arcgis.com/experience/8...
A new analysis and interactive map illustrates the real-world impacts of gutting regulations for the nation’s most hazardous chemical facilities, as recently proposed by the Trump Administration's EPA.

Trump’s EPA has proposed gutting chemical disaster protections, threatening community health and safety.

Our basic right to sue chemical manufacturers for the harm caused by their toxic products is being threatened.

Former employees of the chemical industry shouldn't get to regulate it.

Doug Troutman: American Cleaning Institute;
Nancy Beck & Lynn Dekleva: American Chemistry Council;
Kyle Kunkler: American Soybean Association
Trump and the EPA are putting chemical company profits over Americans’ health and safety - enough is enough.

Problems with a 25-year-old landmark paper on the safety of Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, have led to calls for the E.P.A. to reassess the widely used chemical.

Trump EPA: "nothing to see here."
While the EPA says the reapproval of dicamba includes new restrictions that will reduce the chemical’s harms, watchdog organizations say it actually weakens protections.
⚠️ Public health protections are under threat. A House bill would weaken #TSCA by limiting the science EPA can use, removing requirements that chemicals be proven safe, and giving industry more sway over chemical reviews.
Congress must reject this bill and protect our health from toxic chemicals.
We'll see them in court.
"The Trump administration is sacrificing our health, our safety, our economy, and our future by abandoning its core responsibility to keep us safe from extreme weather and accelerating climate change." - @abbiedillen.bsky.social President of Earthjustice.
This administration didn’t just roll back protections—it made pollution a business model. Corporations get loopholes. Enforcement disappears. Cancer risk rises. Asthma attacks increase. Polluters profit. Communities pay.

Dismantling FEMA, NOAA, the CDC, and climate investments won’t stay abstract.
Hurricanes, wildfires, farm losses, and rising costs will hit everywhere — including communities the administration claims to represent.
When crisis hits, disinformation won’t hold.
UCS’s @dminovi.bsky.social new blog describes how, under the Trump administration, the public is increasingly being cut out of decisions that affect their health, communities, and livelihoods—and how this troubling trend is also playing out at the state level.
Changes in the US Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory methods prioritize the interests of polluting industries at the expense of public health. Read more from CEO @gretchentg.bsky.social, Economist Rachel Cleetus and Fellow Kristie Ellickson.
Trump’s EPA is rolling back public health protections by weakening limits on toxic pollutants like mercury and soot. Its leadership is siding with polluters over people and abandoning the EPA’s mission to protect human health.
The Trump Administration is gutting the EPA. It is slashing regulations meant to protect public health and the environment. Cutting the agency’s budget and staff. Distorting the agency’s mission so that it protects polluting industries instead of the American public. www.epa.gov/newsreleases...
