EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) voted 4-2 last week to advise EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler that the existing air quality standards for particulate matter (PM) do NOT need to be tightened.
JunkScience.com and friends have been working hard toward this for years. You can read Steve Milloy’s testimony from last week’s CASAC meeting here.
CASAC’s recommendation is not binding on the EPA administrator. But it is expected that Administrator Wheeler will accept it and not needlessly tighten the PM air quality standards further.
While the existing PM standards are unnecessarily tight and should be loosened, we’ll take this as a major step toward reining in the junk science at EPA.
