Dingell Seeks Tougher PFAS Limits After ATSDR Adopts Strict Risk Values

摘要

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), a leader of Capitol Hill efforts to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), is urging regulators and other federal officials to quickly adopt stricter limits on the chemicals after the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) formally adopted risk values more conservative than EPA's. In a statement to Inside EPA on ATSDR's recently released final risk levels, Dingell urged regulators to ensure that the Defense Department (DOD) be required to remediate PFAS contamination to levels that protect against the risks ATSDR has identified.
