As the year winds down, there’s still plenty of PFAS regulatory action happening, both in the U.S. and abroad. In the PFAS News and Views, we highlight a few stories of interest.

The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) for PFAS limits in drinking water have been announced. But that’s not the only action the U.S. EPA has taken in recent weeks. In this month’s PFAS News and Views, we focus on several recent developments as the agency works to finish the final mile in the PFAS Strategic Roadmap published in 2021.

As the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeks to deliver on the commitments remaining in the 2021-2024 PFAS Strategic Roadmap, we’re expecting to see many new proposals and tying up of loose ends. At the same time, states and other entities are also focusing on PFAS, so we expect plenty of PFAS action at that level as well. As always, in our PFAS News and Views posts, we highlight and provide our perspectives on those news stories most important to our customers.
