#EnvironmentalGroups sue #Trump’s #EPA over repeal of landmark #climate finding
Lawsuit from #health and #EnvironmentalJustice groups challenges the EPA’s rollback of the ‘endangerment finding’
Dharna Noor
Wed 18 Feb 2026 07.10 EST
"More than a dozen health and environmental justice non-profits have sued the Environmental Protection Agency over its revocation of the legal determination that underpins US federal climate regulations.
"Filed in Washington DC circuit court, the lawsuit challenges the EPA’s rollback of the '#EndangermentFinding', which states that the buildup of heat-trapping #pollution in the atmosphere endangers #PublicHealth and welfare and has allowed the EPA to limit those emissions from #vehicles, #PowerPlants and other #industrial sources since 2009. The rollback was widely seen as a major setback to US efforts to combat the #ClimateCrisis.
"The suit was brought by the American Public Health Association [#APHA], #AmericanLungAssociation, the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, the #EnvironmentalDefenseFund, the #NaturalResourcesDefenseCouncil [#NRDC], the #SierraClub and 11 other public health and environmental organizations. The lawsuit was filed by green legal organizations #CleanAirTaskForce and #Earthjustice and it names the EPA and the agency’s administrator, #LeeZeldin, as defendants.
" 'EPA’s repeal of the endangerment finding and #safeguards to limit vehicle emissions marks a complete dereliction of the agency’s mission to protect people’s health and its legal obligation under the #CleanAirAct,' said #GretchenGoldman, president and CEO at the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, another one of the groups behind the lawsuit. 'This shameful and dangerous action by the Trump administration and EPA Administrator Zeldin is rooted in falsehoods not facts and is at complete odds with the public interest and the best available science.'

Wow I have asthma and take meds and have an air cleaner and I still have attacks. It's horrible not to be able to breathe. It's amazing the utter lack of compassion he has.
My doctor told me that with #asthma/ #allergies everything builds on the other stuff and makes the threshold lower to have attacks. So this stuff matters.
He stopped $900,000 worth of a #grant
Daily Hampshire Gazette: #Trump slashes funds for #asthma sufferers in western #Massachusetts
The Trump administration has eliminated roughly $1 million in funding from the Environmental Protection Agency #EPA to the state Department of #PublicHealth intended specifically to address asthma in western Massachusetts, according to Gov. #MauraHealey’s office. This termination comes shortly after the #AmericanLungAssociation reported a decline in air quality across the state and region.
The money was meant to provide in-home air quality remediations to combat environmental factors, such as improvements to ventilation and the removal of mold throughout Chicopee, Holyoke and Springfield. The state was promised about $1 million over three years for these remediations, but the withheld funding comprises nearly $900,000 of that amount. The DPH so far has spent approximately $100,000 of the money to address asthma in communities disproportionately at risk.

"About 1 in 4 people in the #UnitedStates – more than 119 million residents – live with #AirPollution that can hurt their health and shorten their lives, according to a new report from the #AmericanLungAssociation. People of color are disproportionately affected, as are residents of Western cities. "
