Lawsuit Pushes EPA to Act on Asthma-Causing Air Pollution in Texas and Tennessee
Original: Lawsuit Spurs EPA to Address Asthma-Causing Air Pollution in Parts of Texas, Tennessee
Following legal action brought by the Center for Biological Diversity, the US Environmental Protection Agency has agreed to address asthma-linked air pollution in parts of Texas and Tennessee. The case targets smog-forming pollution affecting communities in those states, and environmental groups are presenting the move as a step toward stronger enforcement of federal air quality standards.
Why now: The EPA's response to the lawsuit signals new regulatory action on air quality in affected communities.
