Trump EPA Unleashes 'Forever' Chemicals on Drinking Water, Leaving Millions Vulnerable to Cancer
The Trump EPA has lifted restrictions on toxic 'forever' chemicals known as PFAS, which are linked to cancer-causing effects and are found in drinking water across the US. The move reverses key Biden-era regulations aimed at protecting public health from these substances.
The Trump EPA has lifted key restrictions on toxic 'forever' chemicals known as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are linked to cancer and other health problems. The decision removes Biden-era regulations that aimed to protect the nation's drinking water from these hazardous substances. The removal of the restrictions was made by the Trump administration, which rolled back many environmental policies during its time in office. The move is likely to have significant implications for public health and the environment.
