Urgent EPA Action: Biden-Harris Administration Declares PFAS Hazardous Substances, Promoting Public Health Safeguards

BREAKING NEWS: The Biden-Harris Administration has just finalized a critical rule to tackle PFAS contamination and safeguard public health!

Today, the EPA designated two widely used PFAS chemicals, PFOA and PFOS, as hazardous substances under the Superfund law. This move enhances transparency and accountability, ensuring that polluters take responsibility for cleaning up PFAS contamination in communities.

Exposure to PFAS has been linked to serious health issues, including cancer and developmental damage. By designating these chemicals as hazardous substances, the EPA can expedite cleanups and compel polluters to cover the costs.

As the concern around PFAS liability continues to grow, the need for defensible and accurate data has never been more critical.
