A Day before World Environment Day the Environmental Protection Agency In U S A set the first-ever national carbon emissions limits for country’s existing power plants.
This Modernization Of power plants will help Americans live healthier lives+ while reducing carbon pollution that contributes to climate change when these pollution reductions are implemented
It Is Claimed That Americans will .Breathe Easier+Stay In School+Live Longer+Stay Out Of Hospitals+get back to work In the first year the new standards are implemented, they’ll prevent up to 100,000 asthma attacks and 2,100 heart attacks. And the numbers will only go up from there.
That means Americans will be taking fewer trips to the emergency room, spending less time away from school or from work, and enjoying longer, healthier lives.
It Is Stated By White House Bloggers That in 2030 there will be 30%less carbon pollution from the power sector Which Is 2/3 of all cars and trucks in america And 25%less smog and soot
Power plants currently churn out about 40 % of the carbon pollution in the air , and contribute to hundreds of thousands of asthma attacks and thousands of heart attacks.
And even though amount of toxic chemicals like mercury, sulfur, and arsenic that power plants can put in air and water, there are no national limits on the carbon pollution they can release.
As President Obama said in his weekly address on Saturday, “It’s not smart, it’s not safe, and it doesn’t make sense.”
That’s why today, at the President’s direction, the EPA is taking steps to change that with a proposal that will set the first-ever national carbon pollution limits for U S A’s existing power plants.
These New standards will cut down on the carbon pollution, smog, and soot in the air and would produce approximate results as under
[1]This would result in 2700 to 6600 fewer premature death
[2]3300 fewer hraet attacks
[3]310000 fewer lost work days
[4]1800 avoided hosital visits for cardiovascular and respiratory illness
[5]estimated 3700 fewer cases of bronchitis in children
[6]150000 fewer asthma attacks in children
[7]kids will miss an estimated 180000 fewer days of school
