"A new television advertising campaign frames the Trump administration’s plans to change a major mercury regulation as a threat to children and pregnant women.

Moms Clean Air Force, a program of the Environmental Defense Fund, launched the television ads Thursday to push back against the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) forthcoming proposal to weaken the justification for its 2012 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), which regulate coal-fired power plant pollution.

After quoting a report from the American Academy of Pediatrics on the disproportionate impact to children and developing fetuses from mercury pollution, the ad says Trump and EPA chief Andrew Wheeler “Donald Trump and EPA chief Andrew Wheeler are pushing a plan that will allow more mercury pollution.”"
