extendedSummary

President Donald Trump's administration has once again sought to roll back mercury regulations, a move previously contested by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2017. At that time, Kennedy vocally opposed the EPA's compliance with Trump's repeal of wastewater limits, warning that increased mercury pollution in waterways would impact public health through contaminated fish. Despite his history of activism against mercury pollution, Kennedy has not commented on the current regulatory rollbacks following his confirmation as head of Health and Human Services.
