A coalition of more than a dozen environmental groups on Thursday sued the Trump administration for rolling back chemical disaster prevention regulations, a move they say has endangered millions of lives.
“By killing these critical protections, millions of people living near chemical facilities in the United States are put in harm’s way,” said the coalition represented by environmental advocacy organization Earthjustice. “We are fighting for the lives and safety of our families and workers. Our lives are more valuable than the bottom line of a few chemical barons.”
