New Hampshire Adopts Strictest PFAS Drinking Water, Groundwater Levels

摘要

New Hampshire July 18 adopted the strictest enforceable drinking water standards and groundwater quality standards for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the nation, finalizing the requirements just six months after they were first proposed and at levels much stricter than first suggested. The state legislature's administrative rules committee approved the strict standards July 18, making the state the first to require local water entities, landfills and wastewater plants to test and treat for four PFAS, according to New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) in a July 18 article.
