AI Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced new appointments to its Science Advisory Board (SAB), including academics and individuals from chemical and other industries. These appointments follow the Trump administration's "reset" of the board over a year ago, which involved dismissing previous scientists. The SAB is composed of outside scientists tasked with providing scientific advice to the EPA. This move significantly alters the composition of the advisory body responsible for guiding EPA policy. The appointments could influence future environmental regulations and scientific assessments undertaken by the agency.
