The Trump Administration last week issued lists of chemical facilities and other polluters that it would exempt from certain air pollution rules for two years.

More than 100 facilities, listed in four separate orders, will get a break on more stringent regulations passed by the Biden Administration. These include rules that the Biden-era EPA said would reduce cancer risks among people living within 6 miles of a chemical plant by 96 percent.

The move makes good on the Trump EPA’s offer in March to give these companies a pass on the rules. The White House set up an email inbox to accept exemption requests from companies and lobbyists.

The list also includes coal-fired power plants, ore processors, and medical sterilization facilities that use a highly carcinogenic chemical called ethylene oxide that a 2021 ProPublica investigation found was the “biggest contributor to excess industrial cancer risk from air pollutants nationwide.”
