Trump EPA Rolls Back Key Drinking Water Protections

New Republic -   President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency wants Americans to keep guzzling “forever chemicals” in their water.  The agency offered a formal proposal Monday to repeal Biden-era regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, a.k.a “forever chemicals,” because they linger in the environment for hundreds or even thousands of years.

.... David Andrews, chief science officer for the Environmental Working Group, told The Washington Post that the decision was “a betrayal of public health and the mission of making America healthier. Safe and clean drinking water should be a right for everyone in this country.”
