As we gear up for 2025, we’re re-sharing the PFAS Consumer Guide we created earlier this year. This resource will be especially useful as the Trump administration attacks PFAS regulations and makes it easier for corporations to pollute our drinking water!

We're glad that the EPA is finally setting firm standards to remove PFAS chemicals from drinking water. There's much more to be done, from repairing our water systems with the WATER Act to holding polluters accountable via the PFAS Action Act. Onward!

"This must mark the beginning — not the culmination — of EPA's efforts to rein in these toxic PFAS."

Del. Mike Jones, D-Richmond, questioned how committed to environmental justice are the appointments from Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
