The Environmental Protection Agency has introduced a plan to manage 'forever chemicals' linked to health risks, but its ambiguity has raised doubts among health advocates. While the EPA aims to study these per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), there are unanswered questions about enforcing existing water safety limits. Critics, including Mary Grant from Food & Water Watch, feel the EPA's communication echoes previous ineffective plans during the Trump administration. Concerns are amplified as these chemicals persist in drinking water across the nation, calling for more decisive action from the agency.
"It just feels like it offered a lot of words without saying anything," says Mary Grant, pointing out the vagueness of the EPA's new plan for 'forever chemicals.'
The new EPA efforts to study 'forever chemicals' and limit pollution have left advocates worried they may resemble previous ineffective initiatives without real action.
