The group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility on Tuesday called for the thousands of PFAS to all be regulated as a group instead of targeting just six of them.
“EPA’s proposed regulations are baby steps forward, but are too little and too late,” said Kyla Bennett, PEER’s director of science policy, in a written statement. “The few PFAS we have studied are toxic, and all PFAS are persistent, so to protect human health and the environment, EPA needs to turn off the PFAS tap as soon as possible.”
