EPA will revisit Biden-era ban on the last type of asbestos used in US

Cigarettes are good for you is next.

 

Winston is the #1 doctor recommended brand!

 

If you want to “make stuff in the USA”, you’re gonna have to wipe out the EPA and deregulate everything. As the Senator from the Great State of Iowa has reminded us… “we are all going to die”.

 

Clean air, water, and land are all over rated. Volunteering to live next to a superfund site? or is that for other people?

 

It is a US competitive advantage. We are willing to subject our citizens to toxic substances.

 

The way they are clear cutting the land and building houses and shopping centers in Marion County it will not matter if the water is clean as there will not be any.

 

If it brings back the Winston Cup I'm kind of on board

 

Did I read this statement correctly from the AP article linked above? "this administration is operating without limits as they dole out favors to polluter lobbyists without regard for the health and well-being of people living in the US"

 

Yes. But the quote above, per AP article…..”said Michelle Roos, executive director of the Environmental Protection Network, a nonprofit.”

 

It does appear to work... the only dorms that have caught on fire in the last 100 years are the few that aren't full of asbestos! I believe almost all of the tile floors are asbestos.

 

The Associated Press receives support from the Walton Family Foundation for coverage of water and environmental policy.
So they want to accuse the administration of doling out favors to polluter lobbyist While the AP admits that they get donations from Sam Walton Foundation for their coverage of environmental and pollution stories. Bet ole Sam is looking down giving them the thumbs up thinking nice story, that's what I pay you for.

 

Is that something posted on X? And not sure it’s a big “gotcha” as at the bottom of the article states:

“The Associated Press receives support from the Walton Family Foundation for coverage of water and environmental policy.”​

Trump admin wants to remove protections for workers against asbestos. That sounds problematic as most medical and scientific findings show asbestos are a carcinogen.

The AP provided the pro pov with this quote, (which was left out of your post above)

“the ban “went beyond what is necessary to eliminate the unreasonable risk and whether alternative measures — such as requiring permanent workplace protection measures — would eliminate the unreasonable risk,” according to a court declaration by Lynn Ann Dekleva, a senior official in EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention.”​

And they also provided the against pov, with the quote in post #9 above. Both sides of the story, in a quick summary article.

 

Back on America was Great gasoline contained lead. It's time to bring it back.
Tetraethyllead (commonly styled tetraethyl lead), abbreviated TEL, is an organolead compound with the formula Pb(C2H5)4. It was widely used as a fuel additive for much of the 20th century, first being mixed with gasoline beginning in the 1920s. This "leaded gasoline" had an increased octane rating that allowed engine compression to be raised substantially and in turn increased vehicle performance and fuel economy.[3][4]

In the mid-20th century, scientists discovered that TEL caused lead poisoning and was highly neurotoxic to the human brain, especially in children.[12] Approximately 90% of the total lead in a human is present in the bones, deposited in the form of insoluble Lead(II) phosphate salt, with a half-life longer than twenty years.[13][14] The United States and many other countries began phasing out the use of TEL in automotive fuel in the 1970s. With EPA guidance and oversight, the US achieved the total elimination of sales of leaded gasoline for on-road vehicles on January 1st, 1996.[15] By the early 2000s, most countries had banned the use of TEL in gasoline. In July 2021, the sale of leaded gasoline for cars was completely phased out worldwide following the termination of production by Algeria, prompting the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) to declare an "official end" of its use in cars on August 30, 2021.[16]

In 2011, researchers retroactively estimated the annual impact of tetraethyl lead worldwide to be the following: 1.1 million excess deaths, 322 million lost IQ points, 60+ million crimes, and 4% of worldwide GDP (around 2.4 trillion United States dollars per year).[17]

 

This reminds me of the time Trump voted against healthcare for veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits. Ya'll remember that?

 

Ha, why wouldn’t the AP print and attribute a quote from the other side of the idea?
