The mobilization of scientists with industry ties to challenge PFAS limits illustrates a concerted effort to weaken regulatory science for corporate interests.
Scientists with ties to chemical makers are developing peer-reviewed studies for industry use, aiming to create doubt around robust PFAS regulations set by the EPA.
Former EPA staff argue that the plans presented by industry-affiliated scientists are more about legal strategies than legitimate scientific inquiry, focusing on creating artificial uncertainty.
The stakes are high, as a ruling against PFAS limits could prevent future regulatory actions on other toxic substances, significantly affecting public health.
