Stop the EPA's PFAS rule rollback! Do not permit water contamination

Please, do NOT permit our water to be poisoned with forever chemicals. Trump's EPA wants to rescind Biden-era regulations that restricted 4 toxic PFAs; the EPA also wants to allow utilities two additional years to comply with limits on other toxins, PFOAs and PFOS. Safe clean water is a bipartisan issue. We should NOT have to fight to keep dangerous forever-chemicals out of our drinking water and rivers. Why should the profit lines of polluters come before our health and safety and the purity of our water? I am outraged and appalled by the proposed changes and I hope you are too. They are a disgrace and a betrayal. I am asking you to oppose it with all the tools available: Please legislate, investigate, and do oversight to expose the dangers and to hold the EPA accountable. Read the National Resource Defense Council's statement: "..... The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today proposed to eliminate key current standards set to protect people from unsafe levels of PFAS “forever chemicals” in drinking water, reversing legal protections adopted in 2024.... additionally the EPA has reversed course and stopped defending the standards in a federal lawsuit filed by industry seeking to eliminate them. The EPA has sought to obscure the impact of the rollback of the PFAS health standards by creating a “PFAS Out” program, but this is a PR stunt. The EPA’s proposals to roll back protections from forever chemicals pose a threat to the health of up to 105 million people across the nation whose water has been contaminated by PFAS. “Every family should be able to turn on their kitchen tap and feel confident that their water is safe, but today’s proposals would blow a big hole in protections from forever chemicals in our drinking water. This is a clear cave-in to special interests like the petrochemical industry and water utilities that care more about their bottom lines than the health of Americans,” said Erik D. Olson, Senior Strategic Director for Health at NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council). The proposed new rules would eliminate four key health standards, and delay by years two other standards. In one of the two rules proposed today, the EPA said it plans to kill its determinations to regulate and set enforceable standards for four PFAS chemicals: GenX, PFHxS, PFNA, and PFBS. In the second rule, the EPA proposed to allow water utilities to opt-in to an extension of the compliance deadline for PFOA and PFOS standards by two years from 2029 to 2031." There is NO measure of well-being that has increased during Trump's regime: health, education, longevity, infectious diseases, inflation, employment, democratic rights, press freedom... According to every measure, Americans are WORSE off under Trump. Permitting dangerous forever chemicals to be released into our water is the OPPOSITE of your job. Congress is supposed to represent us and serve us. Do that job! Don't let the polluters poison our water. Please, start to hold the EPA to its mission. It is supposed to regulate, not to increase, pollution.
