Senate Urges EPA to Protect Public Health by Upholding Methane Standards.
The US Senate formally recognizes that ozone pollution (smog) poses a serious threat to public health, causing lung disease, asthma attacks, and cardiovascular issues. This resolution urges the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take action to reduce smog, specifically by supporting the robust implementation of the 2024 methane emission standards. Upholding these standards is crucial for improving air quality and protecting citizens' health, especially children.
Key points
