The EPA is hoping to finally end speculation about the agency and farm dust. The agency on Monday wrote a letter to Congress, saying it is prepared to propose to keep the current standard for so-called PM10 when it is sent to the Office of Management and Budget.

Here’s the entire news release from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency:

Particulate matter in the air we breathe can cause Americans to get sick, and can even cause premature death. For more than two decades, EPA has been working to reduce this pollution to improve our health while growing our economy.

In progressing this work, some have raised the common myth that we are planning to tighten standards of dust from farms.

EPA has repeatedly said that it has no plans to tighten this regulation.

As further proof and upon careful consideration of the scientific record, analysis by Agency scientists, and advice from the independent Clean Air Science Advisory Committee, EPA today wrote Congress that it is prepared to propose to keep the current standard for PM10 when it is sent to OMB for interagency review.

EPA hopes that this action finally puts an end to the myth that the Agency is planning to tighten this regulation which has been place since 1987.
