Communities poisoned by PFAS contamination have been urging @EPA to pass these laws and prevent residents from further suffering caused by the toxic chemicals which include health harms like reproductive harm, immune deficiencies, and cancer.

These long-overdue drinking water standards are just one of the [LB1] actions EPA must take to protect people from pervasive exposure to PFAS, a class of more than 9,000 toxic chemicals. Check out our tracker to see how @EPA is doing:

“Today’s proposal is a necessary and long overdue step towards addressing the nation’s PFAS crisis… EPA must move quickly to finalize health-protective limits on these six chemicals,” said attorney Jonathan Kalmuss-Katz.

@EPA Try to catch up. I wrote this last year based on five years of research. Instead of reporting after the fact fo your own research.

@EPA How sad that now there are more regulations that should never exist and more government will be needed which should never exist. If laws are the only way then things will not end well.

The EPA is working with the chemical companies “The EPA made a request in the US Court of Appeals to vacate the current PFOS forever chemical drinking water regulation standards” They want to increase PFAS contamination in water “EPA argued that the 2024 maximum contaminant level standards, which they already delayed in May of this year, should be reversed because parts of the rulemaking process were unlawful. More specifically, the EPA said that some of the PFOS drinking rules were made without allowing the public to comment on and participate in the rulemaking process.” “The EPA's reasoning here is extremely inconsistent because the EPA recently rescinded their pesticide application record keeping rule without following the rulemaking process where the public can make comments. This makes it extremely hard to believe that the EPA isn't just doing what's best for the chemical industry, especially since this action was pushed for by the American Waterworks Association and chemical groups. The EPA's request will likely further delay the requirements for water utilities to ensure that PFAS forever chemicals are below certain levels in drinking water supply are entirely removed. The EPA said that they want to shift away from a combination of the maximum contaminant level goal and hazard index to only a hazard index. Since the EPA hasn't provided any more clarity as to what exactly this would look like, the move is creating more uncertainty regarding the future of our water supply. A representative from the chemical conglomerate Kemira said the company wholly supports the EPA's decision”
