This month, The Catch features a story about national regulations on PFAS.
Take a look at proposed nationwide standards on PFAS from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If implemented, the rules would limit the levels of toxic forever chemicals in drinking water to trace amounts. MLive reporter Garret Ellison has been following the story.
“It’s an important moment in public health in the United States. It’s the first time…the EPA has proposed to regulate a drinking water contaminant in decades,” Garret said.
