It’s taken different forms over the years, but the goal was always the same: to stop regulatory agencies from treating air pollution as a public health problem. The Trump EPA has now reached that endpoint.heated.worldAir pollution denial is now EPA policyDirty air may kill people, but Trump's EPA won't count the bodies. 29745
