Ive worked in the water municipality industry. Its not just this chemical. All industry gets to dump all their toxic waste into the usa sewer systems. Often they illegally dump to get past permits. Cutting the power of the EPA? NOT a good thing - it means less money and boots on the ground to keep industries under their permits.
At least 45% of the nation's tap water could be contaminated with at least one form of PFAS known as "forever chemicals," according to a newly released study by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The man-made chemicals — of which there are thousands — are found in all sorts of places, from nonstick cookware to stain-resistant carpets to contaminated sources of food and water. They break down very slowly, building up in people, animals and the environment over time.
