I'm All For "Go Big Or Go Home" Representative Dingell But . . . .

Inside EPA  reports that yesterday Representative Dingell of Michigan, one of the co-authors of the PFAS Action Act of 2021, used the release of ATSDR's toxicological profile of PFAS last week to renew her call for the Biden Administration to clean up PFAS in the environment, remove it from our drinking water, stop ongoing releases of PFAS, and eliminate it from food and cosmetic products.  Is that all?   

PFAS have been used in everything from pans to pizza boxes since World War II.   They're still basically unregulated by Federal Law and they haven't been regulated anywhere for more than a few years.  As you might expect in the absence of regulation, not to mention the inability until recently to detect them at the concentrations now of concern to many, PFAs can be found in surface water bodies and groundwater from coast to coast, as well as in most of us.
