The Environmental Protection Agency has the job of regulating toxic air pollution. They have been doing this for twenty years, but the biggest polluters have yet to be heavily restricted: coal and oil-burning power plants. This is about to change. Studies have been done that have shown all of the horrible side effects of mercury on children's brains especially, caused by living too close to these power plants. The closer a child lives, the more they suffer from things like impaired verbal ability and brain damage. By Friday the EPA must have a stricter rules about this.
