#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.' "

We are back to the dangers that will be unleashed because of the foolhardy decisions of a few. The entire healthcare, academic and life sciences industry in the US is in turmoil and clinical trials, pharmaceuticals and general practitioners are going to be decimated. It's almost as if the last half-decade of covid never happened! Dismantling of the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy, cutting funding to NIH, it's the same playbook that got us into this mess. Of course, all of us in the know saw this coming and it's playing out exactly as expected. I will no longer participate or sacrifice a drop of sweat, blood or tears. We've lost too many good people, family, friends, time with loved ones and ourselves.
It was all lies and propaganda until the people making these decisions started dying... Even on their death beds they thought horse medication would save them. You cannot rationalize or have useful conversation with the clinical definition of an idiot. The laws, rules and regulations that protect the US, managed and put forth by our elected officials based on the people are all effectively dead. I'm not so naive to believe this wasn't always the plan but now that we are here, it should be obvious to anyone, we are on our own. It's time we all started acting that way.

Update. The #BMJ isn't the only journal pushing back against the #CDC directive that staff scientists should retract pending publications that use Trump-banned words. (Earlier in this thread.)
Kudos to the _American Journal of Public Health_ (#AJPH) for pushing back as well.
https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/114076From publisher Georges Benjamin: "We at the American Journal of Public Health have no interest in following the president's prohibitions on language. We will publish things under our guidelines, under our ethical principles." Benjamin acknowledged that the journal may now get fewer submissions from government scientists.
AJPH is published by the American Public Health Association (#APHA).

Judge temporarily pauses Trump's freeze on grants, loans (Reuters, 2025-01-29)
“A U.S. judge on Tuesday temporarily paused part of the Trump administration's sweeping directive to pause federal loans, grants and other financial assistance, granting a win to advocacy groups who said the policy would be devastating.
“At a hearing in Washington, D.C., federal court, U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan ordered the Trump administration not to block ‘open awards,’ or funds that were already slated to be disbursed, until at least Feb. 3.
“The judge said her temporary ruling was intended to "maintain the status quo.’.. "
“The National Council of Nonprofits, the American Public Health Association, Main Street Alliance and SAGE earlier on Tuesday sued over the directive issued by the acting head of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget on Monday…”

@haraldkliems I was at #APHA as well. Luckily Atlanta does have some walkable neighborhoods, but the area around the convention center isn't really one of them. It is well connected to the north and east with bike infrastructure. I 100% agree more public health professionals need to be working on the health impacts of our built environment.

The American Public Health Association conference is in #Atlanta this week. Bicycle infrastructure and sidewalks are public health! #APHA #BikeTooter #walkability

Hmmm, another #APHA talk about ventilation, but I'm not sure:
"High-performance, all-electric HVAC for healthy schools, healthy communities, and a healthy planet"
Yes that sounds good, sign me up please. But -- the author comes from RMI. What is RMI? A nonprofit that aims to "radically improve America's energy practices."
Call me crazy, but when I see that someone on the board of this non-profit is also on the board of Goldman Sachs, I have some questions.

More on #IAQ at #APHA: a poster by Kate McPaul and others about knowledge of, attitudes toward, and acceptability of air hygiene methods (UVGI) in restaurants. Fascinating topic, participatory methods -- every time I've ever groused about engineers not paying attention to #ImplementationScience, I was hoping for something like this to come along. Bravo authors!

This one is Monday, if anyone on Mastodon is at the conference. -
An #APHA #IAQ poster that already happened: Laureen Burton from EPA on "consumer guidance recently developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Indoor Environments Division on indoor air sensors and low-cost air pollution monitors."
I'm on a lot of EPA email announcement lists about air quality, but somehow I missed this.I wonder if this is the document they are talking about?
https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/low-cost-air-pollution-monitors-and-indoor-air-quality -
Also tomorrow at #APHA, an IAQ poster that actually sounds really interesting: they put HEPA/charcoal filters in kitchens with gas stoves and measured not only the decrease in NO2 and PM, but also the reduction in health care utilization and improvement in respiratory symptoms.

@schock I would LOVE to see more #HealthEquity researchers publish about the impact #DesignJustice plays on the #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth
This would make an incredible series of #HealthImpactAssessments and even be a useful tool to rethink how #CommunityHealthNeedsAssessments are conducted
I know #PublicHealth #policy is primarily focused on the ways #PublicPolicy shapes health outcomes but #upstream design and scoping practices often shape many of the disparate impacts we see in the communities that experience inequities. We can't fundamentally change the way our institutions operate unless we interrogate and restructure the design and decision-making processes to adopt more of a #DesignJustice and #ResearchJustice lens
