Public-health advocates warn that rolling back mercury and other hazardous pollutant limits would harm health

A reporter summarized warnings from public-health advocates that rolling back limits on mercury and other hazardous air pollutants would harm human health and could increase health-care costs.

The clip does not identify which advocates or organizations made the warnings, nor does it cite specific studies or data; it presents the concern as a public-health counterargument to regulatory rollbacks.

Without named advocates or studies in the recording, the claim should be corroborated by contacting public-health organizations or reviewing the specific regulatory proposals referenced. The clip does not include responses from regulators or the agencies whose rules are at issue.

The segment places the public-health warning last in its sequence of consumer-cost items.
