Today, the EPA released guidelines that will save lives and protect human health from dangerous heavy metals like mercury and other pollutants from coal-fired power plants.
Mercury makes our fish unsafe to eat, especially for women of child-bearing age, babies and small children. Air pollution has been linked to respiratory illnesses like asthma.
