Once again, the Trump administration is pushing to lower air-quality standards. Tony Cox, who chairs the EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and is a former consultant for oil, chemical, and tobacco interests, is questioning whether breathing soot is really unhealthy. Well, let’s see... soot is known to cause respiratory ailments and increase the risk of stroke, cancer, and heart attack -- not to mention trifles like asthma, bronchitis, and shortness of breath. Could it be that Cox is more concerned with industry’s bottom line than with the public’s health?
