Biden-Harris Administration Finalizes Stronger Clean Air Standards for Chemical Plants, Lowering Cancer Risk and Advancing Environmental Justice

Here is a concise summary of the provided document:

Summary:
The Biden-Harris Administration has finalized a new rule aimed at reducing toxic air pollution from chemical plants, specifically ethylene oxide (EtO) and chloroprene. The rule is expected to:

Reduce cancer risk by 96% in communities near affected plants
Lower emissions from covered facilities by nearly 80%
Require fenceline monitoring for key toxic chemicals
Provide publicly available data on monitoring results
Increase public health protections for overburdened communities
Advancing environmental justice and the Biden Cancer Moonshot Initiative

The final rule will apply to approximately 200 plants and is expected to result in a substantial reduction of toxic air pollutants, promoting a cleaner environment and improving public health.
