In a recent letter to the EPA, the American Chemistry Council and the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers are advocating for a full exemption from new air pollution regulations implemented by the Biden administration. These regulations require chemical plants to monitor and reduce emissions of hazardous pollutants. The industry groups argue that the financial implications of compliance would overwhelmingly burden their members, estimating costs to exceed $50 billion compared to the E.P.A.'s lower estimate of $1.8 billion. They claim the new requirements come with an unrealistic timeline.
