Biden Administration Sets Historic PFAS Limits in Drinking Water

Over 100 million Americans to benefit from stringent new standards aimed at reducing exposure to harmful chemicals.

The Biden administration has enacted the first-ever national drinking water limits on PFAS, affecting over 100 million Americans.
Utilities are required to limit PFAS concentrations to 4 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS, with other types limited to 10 parts per trillion.
Utilities have up to five years to comply with the new regulations, facing significant costs and potential legal challenges.
The EPA's action is seen as a major step in protecting public health from PFAS, which are linked to cancer and other serious health issues.
Consumers can take immediate steps to reduce PFAS exposure, such as using specific water filters and avoiding products containing PFAS.
