Las mamás aplauden la finalización de las reglas de metano de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental para operaciones de petróleo y gas

Press Statement December 5, 2023

“Como madre que vive cerca de plantas de petróleo y gas en mi comunidad, y que ha luchado durante casi una década ante la EPA (Agencia de Protección Ambiental) por normas que apliquen al metano, estoy muy consciente de la importancia que tendrá esta acción para proteger la salud y la seguridad de los niños. Las operaciones de petróleo y gas emiten metano y otros contaminantes nocivos que calientan el clima, y que pueden aumentar el riesgo de impactos graves para la salud, como las enfermedades respiratorias y el cáncer, especialmente en niños. Como madre de un sobreviviente de cáncer, temo por la salud de mi hijo todos los días, ya que su escuela está a media milla de pozos de extracción de gas por fracking.  Sé que el estar expuesto a la contaminación de aire por petróleo y gas, él podría estar bajo mayor riesgo de volver a tener cáncer”, dice Patrice Tomcik, Directora Nacional de Campo de Moms Clean Air Force. “Aplaudo al Presidente Biden y a la EPA por su liderazgo en este esfuerzo por proteger a los niños de los impactos de la contaminación del aire y del cambio climático”.
