Tim Whitehouse, the executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a group that works on environmental ethics and scientific integrity issues, said this latest move from the EPA is merely a baby step in the fight to end PFAS pollution.
“EPA actions are too little and too late,” Whitehouse said. “This administration and previous administrations have been fiddling around trying not to upset chemical companies and communities suffer.”
Whitehouse said while a Superfund designation means that certain sites might be able to be cleaned up using Superfund monies and Superfund designations, it will be years down the road.
