#EPA Proposes New Standard for Removing Harmful ‘#ForeverChemicals’ Found in Drinking Water

Here’s where they come from—and why removing them is more challenging than you might think.

By Korin MillerPublished: Mar 15, 2023

- The EPA issued a new proposal to remove #PFAS from water supplies nationwide.
- The proposal targets six out of thousands of known forever chemicals.
- The #chemicals have been linked to #cancer, thyroid issues, and fertility problems, among other things.

"The EPA shared in a news release that the new levels would be “legally enforceable” if the proposal is finalized. While there are more than 9,000 PFAS known to be in existence, the proposal focuses on six. The proposal would regulate PFOA and #PFOS, along with four other PFAS—#PFNA, #PFHxS, #PFBS, and #GenXChemicals—as a mixture."
