On May 18, 2026, @EPA publicly acknowledged: "The science on the two most studied PFAS has never been clearer. They are linked to serious health effects, they persist in the environment, they build up in the human body. And addressing that is not optional. It is essential to making America healthy again. ... The science on these two chemicals is some of the strongest of any drinking water contaminant we regulate."

Other potential culprits are more than 16,000 chemicals that can leach out of plastics. At least a third are toxic to humans or animals, including hormone-mimicking bisphenols, phthalates, flame retardants and PFAS, commonly known as forever chemicals. https://t.co/2BZmCw44sb

USA: "The grim reality is that 23-35 million pounds of pesticide ingredients used annually in the United States are PFAS. California has registered 53 PFAS pesticides. And about 2.5 million pounds of those poisons are applied annually to California cropland."

The Trump administration is moving to roll back limits on some PFAS, the toxic “forever chemicals” found in the drinking water of millions of Americans.

The Biden-era rule set the first national drinking-water limits for several PFAS compounds. But industry groups argued the standards were legally flawed and too costly to meet.

The Trump administration is moving to roll back limits on some PFAS, the toxic "forever chemicals" found in the drinking water for millions of Americans.

The Biden-era rule set the first national drinking water limits for several PFAS compounds, but industry groups argued the standards were legally flawed and too costly to meet. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says the chemicals still need to be addressed, but that the previous administration overreached.

William Brangham (@WmBrangham) joins Geoff Bennett (@GeoffRBennett) with more.

Key Biden-era regulations designed to protect the nation’s drinking water from the most dangerous cancer-causing per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, have been removed by the Trump administration. https://t.co/yCfj23xnfH

Breaking news: The EPA proposed repealing limits on four types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water.

The proposal would end the Biden-era restrictions on four PFAS compounds and give utilities more time to comply with limits on two others. https://t.co/5GMu4BxYOx

Sewage sludge, containing PFAS, is being spread on farmlands across America as fertilizer, and it's now appearing in the plants that farmers harvest and the meat and milk of the livestock they raise.

The recent U.S. FDA characterization of baby formula as “safe” is entirely misleading.

In the FDA dataset, about two-thirds of the infant formulas tested had detectable PFAS. The highest levels were found in soy-based formula samples, especially powder soy-based formulas.

These detections were mainly driven by PFBA, with some soy powder samples containing around 30-34 ppt.

State officials learned nearly two decades ago that toxic chemicals known as PFAS were spreading from textile mills into the waters of northwest Georgia. Years later, no one is taking responsibility as the toll on human health emerges. https://t.co/UyhSur9Nyp
