- The Mine Safety and Health Administration paused a rule aimed at reducing miners' exposure to crystalline silica, a harmful chemical.
- The new regulation, planned for enforcement, would have cut silica exposure levels by half, potentially preventing over 1,000 deaths.
- Critics argue that the Trump administration's cuts to worker protections are detrimental, putting miners at greater risk of debilitating respiratory illnesses, according to public health experts and labor advocates.
