EPA Announces Comprehensive National PFAS Strategy
Effort Aims to Coordinated Response to Emerging Contaminants
In a mid-October press release, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced what it calls a comprehensive Strategic Roadmap to confront PFAS contamination nationwide.
“For far too long, families across America – especially those in underserved communities – have suffered from PFAS in their water, their air or in the land their children play on,” says EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “This comprehensive, national PFAS strategy will deliver protections to people who are hurting, by advancing bold and concrete actions that address the full lifecycle of these chemicals. Let there be no doubt that EPA is listening, we have your back, and we are laser focused on protecting people from pollution and holding polluters accountable.”
