Experts: N. Nev. may be hurt by lax pollution rules
By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
Republican President Trump’s efforts to loosen vehicle pollution standards at the federal level could mean less healthy air and more local regulations in Northern Nevada.
That’s according to air quality experts who say communities in Nevada and around the U.S. would face pressure to offset increased pollution from cars with regulations on other sources of pollution.
Additional pollution from tailpipes and other sources would also put people at greater risk of health problems associated with breathing polluted air.
