The Trump administration has withdrawn a crucial EPA draft rule intended to limit toxic PFAS in industrial wastewater, reversing strides made by the Biden administration. PFAS are linked to serious health issues like cancer and liver damage and are found in over 120,000 potential exposure sites in the U.S. Critics argue this decision endangers public health and allows water pollution to continue unchecked, particularly in communities near industrial sites. This action is part of broader environmental rollbacks under Trump, raising concerns about the lack of federal regulation in addressing hazardous substances.
President Trump's administration's withdrawal of a critical EPA draft rule limiting PFAS in industrial wastewater undermines environmental progress and public health protections.
Advocates like Kyla Bennett express that this major rollback not only threatens water safety but also ignores the severe health risks associated with PFAS exposure.
