24 Republican-led US states sue Biden administration over EPA's stricter soot pollution rule.

24 Republican-led US states filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over a new EPA rule setting stricter standards for soot pollution. States argue the rule will raise costs, hinder new manufacturing plants and infrastructure, and place 30% of US counties out of compliance. EPA estimates the rule will create $46bn in health benefits by 2032, preventing 800,000 asthma attacks and 4,500 premature deaths.
