Two members of Congress from Michigan re-introduced bipartisan legislation Tuesday to set national drinking water standards for two PFAS chemicals. WAMC’s Hudson Valley Bureau Chief Allison Dunne says New Yorkers are watching closely.
Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Republican Congressman Fred Upton authored the PFAS Action Act of 2021 to create national drinking water standards for PFOA and PFOS. Upton says the legislation would require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish standards for the two “forever chemicals” within two years.
“And what this legislation intends to do is to get EPA on our side. We need a partner,” Upton says. “We need a partner that can battle this, to identify those hot spots, to work with companies across the nation, to inform consumers and to take the meaningful steps of actually cleaning up where there’s contaminated sites.”
