US EditionHow AP Calculated the Costs and Death Toll of EPA Rule Rollbacks
- The Environmental Protection Agency announced rollbacks of at least 30 major air and water pollution rules under President Donald Trump in 2025 affecting U.S. Health and environment.
- These rollbacks focus on regulations aimed at lowering pollutants that contribute to global warming and safeguarding public health, following thorough evaluations and federal review procedures.
- The rules have cut pollutants including soot, mercury, and lead, with estimated annual savings of $275 billion and prevention of about 30,000 premature deaths in the U.S.
- The EPA fact sheets highlight regulatory costs near $1 billion but often omit the significantly larger estimated benefits including preventing thousands of deaths and asthma incidents annually.
- Experts and former EPA officials warn that rolling back these rules could cause tens of thousands of avoidable deaths and increase pollution, which would harm public health and slow climate progress.
