Today, the Biden administration passed the first national drinking water limit rule on toxic PFAS >> https://cnn.it/4cNwJlH. For water providers, this signals a new era for how they must install and operate the technologies that can filter out forever chemicals. The good news is that Crystal IS has been tracking this ruling for over a year, and we've detailed exactly what these new regulations mean and how combination technologies can help ensure safe drinking water:  https://bit.ly/4aCyi4a 

The safety and quality of drinking water in the United States has improved since the Safe Drinking Water Act was established in 1974, but there are still concerns about the presence of contaminants such as toxic chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria, and PFAS. Individuals need to test their water and take action to clean it up if necessary, to ensure better, safer drinking water.

Some big news from EPA today--the agency has finalized its regulations of six PFAS in drinking water. These maximum contaminant levels create the first binding federal limits for these forever chemicals in drinking water. The limits in this rule are among the most strict drinking water limits ever adopted by EPA. This is a major milestone in PFAS. Check out this fantastic article from my colleagues Jessica Ferrell, Jeff Kray, and Kameron Schroeder on the rule content and implications: https://lnkd.in/gm_gNvkC

“The science is clear: No amount of #PFAS in #water is safe. Today’s action addresses just six of thousands of these #toxicchemicals. The #EPA must regulate the entire class to remove all PFAS from our drinking water, ban the manufacture of nonessential PFAS, and hold #polluters accountable to pay to clean up their toxic mess. The brunt of the compliance costs must be borne by the PFAS polluters, so that households already struggling with unaffordable water bills are not stuck picking up the tab of corporate water pollution. “Corporate polluters long hid evidence of the toxicity of these chemicals, and they have spent millions of dollars lobbying against regulations that would protect people from this harm. Congress must reject corporate efforts to carve various polluters out of liability, and it must pass the PFAS Action Act to continue the work to address this toxic crisis.”

What Can Be Done About Forever Chemicals In Drinking Water?

Is your drinking water safe to drink? We've been assured for years that our municipal water supply was the best but now that comfortable assertion is proving to be untrue with levels of chemicals up to 140 times what is safe. Ironically we are now being told to drink bottled water (ignoring that some bottled waters are essentially tap water as well as the impact of the plastic leaching into the water). It's why we do what we do. Check out why we say our water is better for people as well as the planet. https://lnkd.in/gfvpCtfd
