EPA walks back claims US has phased out toxic PFAS chemicals
Original: EPA quietly backtracks on claims US has phased out toxic Pfas compounds
The US Environmental Protection Agency has quietly revised its position on whether the country has fully phased out toxic PFAS compounds, according to reporting by The Guardian. The backtracking raises questions about the true status of the so-called forever chemicals, which are linked to serious health risks and remain widespread in water supplies and consumer products across the United States.
Why now: A federal agency softening its stance on widespread toxic chemicals draws concern from environmental and public health watchers.
