# Environment / Climate / Chemicals / Infrastructure The EPA sets tougher national soot standards. Environmental experts are skeptical that Texas can meet the new rules on particulate matter, which can cause serious respiratory problems. Some scientists call particulate matter the deadliest form of air pollution because it can cause lung and throat irritation, respiratory inflammation, irregular heartbeat and aggravate asthma. Children, the elderly, and pregnant people are most susceptible to harm from these emissions.
