  1. Though there are many #heavymetals that #coalmining can release to our #freshwater, #selenium has been noted as a particularly risky #pollutant as it bioaccumulates in the #environment reaching toxic levels for #fish, #animals living in riparian areas, and potentially in agricultural #soils and #plants grown in them. This is a risk not only to human #health and the health of aquatic #ecosystems, but also risks the reputation of our regional agricultural products.

  6. Real-world #testing shows which #vehicle models emit more deadly #pollutant NOx
    "Most petrol vehicles hv low #NOx #emissions.. But most #diesel cars flunked te test.. NOx spreads outwards fr highways & suburb streets. Levels drop at ~100-200m fr te source, but remain high in busy traffic areas. Breathed in, LT exposure to NOx can damage te lungs & lead to #diseases like bronchitis & asthma. It generaly inflames & stresses cells in te body, which's linked w #heartdisease"🤦‍♂️

  21. Joseph Goffman, who led the #air office at the #EPA under the #Biden admin, said the rule would all but certainly face #legal challenges if it is finalized.

    He said the #Trump admin’s proposed rule conflicts w/the 2007 #SCOTUS ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA, a landmark case that found for the first time that #GreenhouseGases were a #pollutant under the #CleanAirAct. That led the EPA to make the finding in 2009 that said that 6 greenhouse gases were harming #PublicHealth.

    A proposal to stop labelling #carbondioxide as a pollutant and instead celebrate it as a "foundational nutrient for all life on Earth” will be up for debate at the #UnitedConservativeParty’s annual general meeting in November.'
