Original: EPA air chief leaves agency after overseeing Trump regulatory rollback
The head of the US Environmental Protection Agency's air office has left the agency after leading the Trump administration's rollback of air pollution regulations. According to Reuters, the departure follows a period in which key clean air rules were weakened or repealed. The move is drawing attention from environmental groups and policy observers tracking changes at the agency.
Why now: The resignation of a senior regulator who drove major environmental policy changes is newsworthy amid ongoing debate over the Trump administration's environmental record.
