The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially designated two PFAS chemicals as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund). This step was first announced in EPA’s October 2021 PFAS Strategic Roadmap — an outline of the overarching plans of the Biden Administration to address PFAS-related concerns. The final rule designates two PFAS legacy chemicals, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), as hazardous substances because, according to EPA, “significant scientific evidence [suggests] these substances, when released into the environment, may present a substantial danger to public health or welfare or the environment.” Learn more about how the agency’s action may expose a wide range of industries to potential Superfund cleanup liability for releases of PFOA and PFOS in our latest Environmental Edge blog ➡ https://bit.ly/49R7gFc #Environmental #Chemicals #PFAS #Superfund Karen Vincent | Larry Culleen | Joel M.
