EPA eases limits on toxic emissions from coal plants

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is easing limits on mercury and other toxic emissions from coal-fired power plants. This move is part of the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to support the fossil fuel industry by reducing regulations on clean air and water.

Critics argue that easing these restrictions could lead to increased pollution and health risks. However, supporters believe that these changes will provide economic benefits and support jobs within the fossil fuel sector.
