July 6 (UPI) — A new analysis of drinking water in the United States found Environmental Protection Agency tests are missing large levels of “forever chemicals” exposing millions to health risks, according to The Guardian.
The Guardian analysis found the EPA’s testing is too limited in scope and undercounts PFAS pollutants.
“The EPA is doing the bare minimum it can and that’s putting people’s health at risk,” said Kyla Bennett, policy director at the advocacy group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.
