  1. **From Associated Press:** The Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that it plans to weaken limits on some so-called forever chemicals in drinking water that were finalized last year, while maintaining standards for two common ones.

    The Biden administration set the [first federal drinking water limits](https://apnews.com/article/forever-chemicals-pfas-pollution-epa-drinking-water-1c8804288413a73bb7b99fc866c8fa51) for PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, finding they increased the risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and babies being born with low birth weight. Those limits were expected to reduce PFAS levels in drinking water for millions of people.

    Limits on three types of PFAS, including GenX substances found in North Carolina, will be scrapped and reconsidered by the agency, as will a limit on a mixture of several types of PFAS.

  2. is this one of the moves of the so called Make America Healthy Again movement?

  3. Under the Democrats the EPA functioned to protect everyone’s environment. Under the republicans the EPA exists only to help business profit. Period. That’s their God-profit.

  4. Time to set up a free bottled water service to all EPA, federal building & congress where the water comes from a source that -just- meets the new standard…

  8. Drench this EPA, their homes, offices and family in the stuff.

  9. well you have to if you want to move all the factories back for the children to work in !
