The EPA has designated two PFAS chemicals, PFOA and PFOS, as hazardous substances under CERCLA, with a focus on major PRPs. This decision aims to address the challenges of removing PFAS from water supplies and reducing exposure to these 'forever chemicals.' The finalized rule will have wide-ranging impacts on environmental law and public health.
The latest science is clear: exposure to PFOA and PFOS over long periods of time can result in significant health risks. I'm glad to see the EPA finalize a critical rule to clean up PFAS contamination and protect public health. https://t.co/hck7zjrxtj
