The Environmental Protection Agency announced new drinking water standards Wednesday to limit exposure to a class of chemicals called PFAS. "There's no doubt that these chemicals have been important for certain industries and consumer uses, but there's also no doubt that many of these chemicals can be harmful to our health and our environment," said EPA administrator Michael Regan in a call with reporters. This is the first time the agency has set enforceable limits on PFAS in drinking water.
