Nurses Oppose EPA Plans to Weaken Protections

🚨 Nurses Oppose EPA Plans to Weaken Protections Against Forever Chemicals 🚨

Today, the EPA announced plans to weaken the nation’s water rule on PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals” — toxic substances linked to cancer and other serious illnesses.

Nurses and health advocates are speaking out. Clean water is a human right — and we will not accept backtracking on public health.

ANHE stands with communities and advocates in

🚨 ANHE stands with communities and advocates in strong opposition to an unprecedented exemption that would allow hundreds of chemical plants to ignore critical emissions standards finalized just last year.

Among these standards was the HON rule, which required over 200 chemical plants—linked to elevated cancer risks in fenceline communities—to:

✅ Monitor for six cancer-causing air pollutants
✅ Take swift action if emissions exceed safety limits

We say: No more pollution without accountability. Communities must come first.

From constant noise and pedestrian safety risks to

From constant noise and pedestrian safety risks to the toxic impact of diesel exhaust on children’s respiratory and developmental health, there are countless reasons to be concerned about the proximity of major trucking routes to K-12 schools, daycare centers, and public parks across Pennsylvania.

A new report released today (#WorldAsthmaDay) by the Clean Trucks PA coalition examines this important problem — and the wide array of solutions available to state leaders to help deliver cleaner air for kids.

State leaders must clean up the pollution from diesel trucks that’s harming tens of thousands of children across Pennsylvania.

Clean air can’t wait.
