Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), agency of the U.S. government that sets and enforces national pollution-control standards.
Government officials have long grappled with a question that seems like the purview of philosophers: What is the value of a human life? Under both Democratic and Republican administrations, the answer has been in the millions of dollars. The higher the value, the more the government has required businesses to spend on their operations to prevent a single death. But for the first time ever, at the Environmental Protection Agency the answer is effectively zero dollars. Last week, the E.P.A. stopped estimating the monetary value of lives saved when setting limits on two of the most widespread deadly air pollutants, fine particulate matter and ozone. Instead, the agency is calculating only the costs to companies of complying with pollution regulations. (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/climate/epa-human-life-value.html)
Vladini dužnosnici već dugo se bore s pitanjem koje se čini kao djelokrug filozofa: koja je vrijednost ljudskog života? Pod administracijama i demokrata i republikanca, odgovor je bio u milijunima dolara. Što je vrijednost veća, to je vlada zahtijevala da tvrtke više troše na svoje poslovanje kako bi spriječile jednu smrt. Ali po prvi puta ikada, u Agenciji za zaštitu okoliša (EPA), odgovor je zapravo nula dolara. Prošli tjedan, EPA je prestala procjenjivati novčanu vrijednost spašenih života prilikom postavljanja ograničenja za dva od najraširenijih smrtonosnih onečišćivača zraka, fine čestice i ozon. Umjesto toga, agencija sada izračunava samo troškove za tvrtke vezane uz poštivanje propisa o onečišćenju.
