EPA Seeks to Rescind PFAS Pollution Limits – Submit Your Comment By July 20

The Environmental Protection Agency’s attempt to undo limits on PFAS pollution in drinking water has reached a critical stage. Today (Monday, July 20) at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time is the deadline for public comments on this effort by the Trump EPA to reverse public health protections adopted under the Biden Administration. 

The move would revoke the “first enforceable national limits on toxic and long-lasting water pollutants often called ‘forever chemicals’—chemicals like PFAS, PFOS, and GenX which have broadly contaminated drinking waters in North Carolina and around the nation.” 

Take Action

“The current standards are based on extensive scientific evidence linking PFAS exposure to cancer, liver disease, heart attacks, strokes, and other serious health issues as well as harm to children, infants, and pregnant people,” said Carrie Clark, Executive Director of NCLCV. “Communities and families across the country – and right here in NC – pushed for these regulations for years. In fact, the limits were announced right here in NC, near the Cape Fear River. We must join with these families and communities in the efforts to protect our drinking water.”
