PFAS Regulations Rolled Back: What This Means for Your Drinking Water
🚨 What Just Happened?
In a stunning policy reversal, the EPA has announced it’s rolling back critical regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—better known as forever chemicals. These toxic substances are linked to serious health risks, including cancer, developmental disorders, and immune system damage. And now, instead of tightening regulations, the EPA has delayed enforcement until 2031, leaving millions of Americans exposed for years to come.

The Regulatory Rollback Explained
The EPA had previously planned to enforce near-zero PFAS limits in drinking water by 2027. Now, not only has the compliance deadline been pushed to 2031, but enforceable limits on four key PFAS compounds have been removed entirely.
