EPA backtracks on claims US has phased out toxic PFAS

Original: EPA backtracks on claims US has phased out toxic PFAS compounds

The Environmental Protection Agency has walked back statements suggesting the US has phased out toxic PFAS compounds, the long-lasting 'forever chemicals' linked to health and environmental harm. The reversal has drawn criticism from environmental advocates and renewed attention to how widely PFAS remain in use across American industry and consumer products.

Why now: The EPA's reversal on a significant public-health claim raises fresh concerns about PFAS regulation and transparency.
