EPA's Plan to Fight 'Forever Chemicals'

The EPA announced a plan to tackle PFAS, also known as 'forever chemicals', which are causing widespread water contamination.

These chemicals, used in many products, are linked to serious health issues and persist in the environment, posing a significant threat to human health.

While the EPA's plan includes appointing a lead official and setting wastewater guidelines, the lack of concrete details raises concerns about its efficacy.

The agency's collaboration with Congress aims to establish stronger regulations and hold polluters accountable for the ongoing contamination crisis.
