Which PFAS will be regulated next?

By Lindsay Boone, M.Sc. on Feb 1, 2023 12:13:46 PM

Lately, we’ve all been watching and waiting for the EPA to publish its proposed MCLs (Maximum Contaminate Levels) for PFOA and PFOS and to designate these two compounds as hazardous substances under CERCLA (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act). These two actions will have a huge impact on everything from Public Water Systems, to manufacturing, to property sales.

EPA Issues New Health Advisories for 4 PFAS

By Paul Jackson on Jun 16, 2022 4:00:52 PM

In 2016, the U.S. EPA issued drinking water health advisories (HAs) based on available toxicity data for PFOA and PFOS of 70 ppt, individually or combined. While HAs are non-enforceable, many states used the EPA’s guidance to set state-level rules and regulations. Then, in 2021, the EPA revised its risk assessment for PFOA and PFOS and released draft risk values to the EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB).
