Water Utilities Seek EPA Focus On Research, Source Control For PFAS

摘要

Wastewater utilities are urging EPA to focus its work on perfluorinated chemicals on research to better understand the fate, transport and toxicity of the chemicals and then to use "heightened source control efforts and certain, specifically tailored regulatory standards," to remove the constituents from the environment.In July 20 comments to EPA on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) says local, state and federal efforts to address PFAS contamination are already impacting utilities as they seek to comply with Clean Water Act requirements.
