The EPA’s “PFAS OUT” initiative promises outreach to water systems, but the agency under the current administration has withdrawn Biden-era limits for four PFAS chemicals and scrapped a review of sewage sludge risks. Despite claims of prioritizing health, the EPA recently approved three new herbicides that international experts classify as PFAS, bringing the total approved under the current administration to five. Nearly 70 million acres of U.S. farmland are potentially contaminated by PFAS through the use of sewage sludge, with no national testing requirements or warnings to farmers. The EPA’s internal data has linked new herbicides to animal tumors, yet the agency maintains these chemicals do not fit its definition of PFAS, contradicting OECD standards.
