Not all advocates were so thrilled. Tim Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, called the move “too little, too late.”
He underscored that the action does not extend to the wider world of PFAS chemistry, even as thousands of compounds continue to contaminate areas nationwide. Whitehouse also noted the many PFAS in the waste stream and argued that regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act along with CERCLA will be critical in order to truly address pollution.
