Trump Administration’s Attack on Science Puts Health of American Families at Risk
(WASHINGTON, D.C. - January 29, 2025) “The Trump administration’s move to dismiss EPA’s science advisors is a direct attack on the life-saving protections that keep our air clean, our water safe and our communities free from harmful pollution. This administration has no mandate to unravel the basic health and environmental protections that keep our communities safe. These safeguards must be grounded in science and not subject to the whims of this administration.
“This move is part of the Trump administration’s coordinated approach to censor the science underpinning our foundational health and environmental protections. Taken together, these reckless and dangerous actions will put millions of American families in harm’s way.”
- Peter Zalzal, Distinguished Counsel and Associate Vice President, Clean Air Strategies
