In 1970, the United States Republican president Richard Nixon (during his second term) decided to create an agency for the human health and environment protection in the country. Nixon signed an act called Clear Air Act which is in charge of the regulation and control of the air emissions from food processing plants, fossil fuel burning, and planes, cars and any motor vehicle. Also the Clean Water Act responsible for growing public awareness and controlling water pollution since 1972, one of the goals of these acts were to authorize the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards and Water Quality Standards all over the country.
EPA was created on December 2nd of 1970 when Nixon signed an executive order. It led by an administrator, Scott Pruitt. Since it started, EPA had improved the levels of some pollutants like 84 percent of carbon monoxide, 37 percent airborne particles (pollen, fly ashes, insect parts,dust, etc.), 67 percent of sulfur dioxide, 3 percent of ozone, 85 percent of lead, 60 percent nitrogen dioxide and other …show more content…
Unfortunately, president Donald Trump wants to cut a 30 percent of their budget because “it’s untenable” this will take a quarter of the agency jobs. This cut has been classified as the highest one for the agency; this money will be used to defense and security programs and department for the country. The defense department budget is approximate of $598 billion each year, which is clearly bigger than the EPA budget, that is an 8376.85 percent of the difference. But a recent pollution says that approximately a 60 percent of Americans and including Republicans want the current EPA powers to be preserved or strengthened during president Donald Trump
