EPA's New Rule to Protect 100 Million Americans from 'Forever Chemicals'
Apr 15, 2024, 10:57 AM
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has introduced the first-ever enforceable drinking water standards aimed at reducing exposure to toxic 'forever chemicals' known as PFAS. This significant regulatory action is expected to impact 100 million Americans by preventing exposure that could lead to thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of cancers and other serious illnesses. The new rule will also spur PFAS-related litigation and has led to the implementation of funding mechanisms to assist communities in combating PFAS pollution. Additionally, the Biden-Harris administration has taken steps to eliminate PFAS from U.S. government custodial contracts.
