The US nonprofit Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) has sued the US EPA over its alleged failure to comply with a public records request related to PFAS contamination from fluorinated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers.
Filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia last week, PEER’s complaint describes how it submitted a freedom of information act (Foia) request last October, seeking records on an EPA investigation that began after the discovery of long-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) leaching into mosquito control products stored in HDPE containers.
