The Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility submitted a formal complaint to the EPA Oct. 29, challenging what it said was EPA claims of progress on PFAS compounds.
It argues the agency’s statements that domestic production of PFOA, or perfluorooctanoic acid, have been phased out are incorrect.
PEER pointed to technology used by Inhance Technologies LLC to apply a fluorination coating to an estimated 200 million plastic containers a year for products like pesticides, edible oils and personal care items.
