EPA regulatory rollback risks Maine's air quality

MAINE PUBLIC • March 13, 2025

Maine’s air pollution will likely get worse if the Trump administration enacts a massive rollback of environmental regulations, according to public health and conservation advocates. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin plans more than 30 actions to reconsider rules including those that limit pollution from power plants, automobiles and the oil and gas industry. The agenda further targets protections aimed at lowering greenhouse gas emissions driving up global temperatures.
