Keep toxic “forever chemicals” out of our drinking water

Keep toxic “forever chemicals” out of our drinking water

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the agency will weaken standards on PFAS toxic forever chemicals in drinking water. That is the wrong decision. It’s urgent that the EPA take steps to limit PFAS in tap water, a critical step towards addressing this major public health issue.

PFAS are toxic chemicals linked to cancer and other health harms. As many as 105 million people in the U.S. get their drinking water from water systems contaminated by PFAS chemicals at hazardous levels.

We need as many activists as possible to tell the EPA you want the agency to resist industry pressure, reverse course, and support the strongest possible standards to protect millions of people from the dangers of toxic forever chemicals.

Enough is enough.

Take action to support safe drinking water.

Tell the EPA you support limiting toxic PFAS chemicals in drinking water.
