The Biden administration has proposed a rule that it says will reduce pollution stemming from new gas-fired power plants and other industrial facilities.
The proposal would require these plants to cut their emissions of pollutants known as nitrogen oxides, which can lead to smog formation and contribute to asthma in people with long-term exposure.
The agency said the regulation would reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by as many as 198 tons in 2027 and 2,659 tons in 2032.
