The EPA has been considering regulating PFOS and PFOA in drinking water since 2009 according to an article posted by
Visiting Scientist, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Harvard University. It is noted that the EPA is only targeting two chemicals and that this process will take several years to complete. The last time any changes were made to the regulation of water was over 20 years ago according to the author. Why should this process take so long. Why Years? In the mean time are we to continue to be exposed to toxins and chemicals that we know affects us? Do we just stand back and see what happens? I am quite glad that I am becoming more aware of what I am consuming especially water which is always viewed as safe.
so frightening! We need closer examination and regulation of our most precious natural resource. Great article!
