EPA Expected To Release Plan For Handling Long-Lasting Chemical Contaminants Found In Consumer Products

The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to release a plan for handling long-lasting chemical contaminants found in consumer products such as carpets and dental floss. Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler says in an ABC News Live interview the so-called forever chemicals, or PFAS, are “a very important threat” and the EPA is moving forward with a process under the Safe Drinking Water Act that could lead to new safety thresholds. An announcement is planned today in Philadelphia.
