Environmental Protection Network created by alumni of the Trump administration lays out a blueprint for drastically remaking the EPA .

The group analyzed the potential impact of 16 major air pollution rules issued since 2021 .

It estimates they could prevent 200,000 premature deaths and result in 100 million fewer asthma attacks through 2050 .

The lead author of the chapter dedicated to the EPA is Mandy Gunasekara , who was chief of staff at the EPA during the Trump administration.

The Heritage Foundation didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The EPA says it is committed to protecting public health and the environment by implementing science-based pollution standards.
