The EPA IRIS database specifies the cancer + noncancer risk of > 500 chemicals. It's the rosetta stone to calculating the relationship between exposure and risk. It powered our tox map and formaldehyde map. Killing it would destroy the ability to regulate or even show how harmful toxic chems are.

The Trump Administration has frozen billions in congressionally mandated investments for clean energy, air, water, & climate mitigation, fired critical federal employees, & moved to rollback standards protecting us from pollution. Congress must #StandStrongForClimate & #ProtectCleanWater.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

As a former #EPA scientist. This is utterly irresponsible. People have no idea how important the “Environmental Protection Agency” is. Hint- it protects your water, air, & health. Before the EPA was formed by Nixon, it looked like night during the day in cities & toxic waste flowed freely.

"The methane polluter fee is a critical tool to reduce the waste of natural gas, limit pollution in local communities, and drive America forward as a global leader" We agree. We must protect people, not polluters - and Congress must protect the methane polluter fee implementing rule. Read more:

“It’s not unreasonable to be concerned about rollbacks” With uncertainty and potential undoing of federal regulations, states are moving to take action on #PFAS (including in CA @cleanh2oca.bsky.social & PA @cleanh2opa.bsky.social). From @thenewlede.bsky.social www.thenewlede.org/2025/02/stat...

"Getting rid of the measure, called the “social cost of carbon,” would upend energy and environmental regulations meant to address climate change and could have the long-term effect of shifting costs from polluting industries directly onto Americans as the expenses of climate change rise."

Similar to recent efforts to freeze federal funding, attempts to rollback essential safeguards designed to protect clean water, the environment, & public health would cause confusion & harm. This would open doors for polluters, NOT protect our communities. Act Now act.cleanwater.org/page/165919/...
