  • January 17, 2017 Dear Senator, We the Undersigned Health
    January 17, 2017 Dear Senator, We the undersigned health professionals and members of health and public health organizations call on you to reject the nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to be the next EPA Administrator. The EPA is responsible for implementing the laws that protect our nation's air, water, and climate. Its work is critical to improving Americans' health and saving lives. Yet Mr. Pruitt has shown himself to be openly hostile to the EPA's mission of environmental and health protection. In fact, his own website calls him "a leading advocate against the EPA's activist agenda." As Oklahoma Attorney General, Mr. Pruitt: Worked to undermine the EPA's vital contributions to public health: Sued the EPA to halt the Regional Haze Rule that helps protect us from ozone, a dangerous air pollutant that causes irreversible lung damage. Yet the American Lung Association's 2016 "State of the Air" report gave all Oklahoma counties surveyed an "F" for ozone levels and found that the number of high ozone days had increased in most counties compared to 2010‐2012. Sued the EPA to weaken the Waters of the U.S. Rule, which protects one‐third of the sources of surface water that people drink. Sued the EPA to halt the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards that reduce air pollution from coal‐ and oil‐fired power plants rule. Mercury is a neurological toxin that causes brain damage in developing fetuses and children. Sought to undercut protections from climate change: Promoted inaccurate and dangerous misinformation about climate change. Pruitt wrote, for example, "Scientists continue to disagree about the degree and extent of global warming and its connection to the actions of mankind." This is untrue.
