包括北达科他州的道格·伯格姆在内的 22 名共和党州长敦促美国环境保护署暂停实施限制空气中细颗粒物的新规定，认为该规定将对农村社区造成最严重的打击，并迫使这些社区进行代价高昂的空气质量改善。 22 Republican governors, including North Dakota's Doug Burgum, have urged the Environmental Protection Agency to pause its new rule limiting fine particles in the air, arguing it will hit rural communities hardest and force them to make costly air quality changes. 该规则改变了《国家环境空气质量标准》中的细颗粒物含量，将于 5 月 6 日生效。 The rule, which changes National Ambient Air Quality Standards for fine particulate matter, is set to take effect May 6.
