The Biden EPA plans to return to the good old pre-Trump days of regulating based on fake benefit-cost analysis. You can file your written comments with EPA here. The deadline is June 14,2021. The Federal Register announcement is here.

So let’s consider the case of airborne fine particulate matter called PM2.5, which will refer to as PM.
