EPA proposes national drinking water standard for PFAS

The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a regulation that would require public water systems to track per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, notify the public when PFAS and PFOA are present in water and take action to remove the chemicals if contamination exceeds 4 parts per trillion. The agency also wants to regulate four other PFAS as mixtures.

WEF Responds to EPA's PFAS Drinking Water Proposal

The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation to establish legally enforceable Maximum Contamination Levels for six PFAS in drinking water. "Putting forward regulations like this helps to ensure public health; that is the core mission of everyone in the water sector," said Water Environment Federation Executive Director Walt Marlowe. "As a community, we have a responsibility to engage with this rulemaking procedure to ensure that all decisions are based on sound science and do not overlook unintended consequences that could come along with these limits."
