You hake no reason to assume that. The people who will try to write those regulations are those with have an angle. We call it regulatory capture.

I don't see how the threat of regulatory capture would argue against letting experts decide what actions need to be taken to protect the publics health and the environment
I would argue against government bureaucrats being experts.
Congress is similarly captured.
Which is way easier when you only have to convince random court with a gish-galloping person as "expert witness".

Regulatory capture at agency level is way harder to do.
