Tell EPA: No PFAS pollution in drinking water for industry profit

Instead of protecting families from toxic PFAS pollution, this federal administration has:

Moved to delay and eliminate drinking water protections for several PFAS chemicals, putting communities and children at greater risk, and threatening more than 100 million Americans who have these toxic chemicals in their drinking water.

Walked away from a science-based assessment of PFAS risks to farms and drinking water and replaced it with weaker guidance that fails to protect communities.

Cut a deal with Chemours, a notorious PFAS polluter, that falls far short of holding the company accountable for the widespread contamination it caused.

Stacked EPA's Science Advisory Board with chemical industry insiders, including Chemours executives, giving polluters greater influence over decisions that affect people's health.

PFAS pollution is preventable. The most cost effective, safest way to protect people is to stop PFAS before it reaches farms and drinking water supplies. EPA has the tools and authority to do that, but it is failing to act. Preventing pollution at the source is the most effective and affordable way to protect communities and ensure polluters bear the cost of their pollution—not farms, families and communities.

Tell EPA to change course: protect people, strengthen safeguards against PFAS pollution, and hold polluters accountable.

Dear EPA Administrator Zeldin:

My name is {user_data~First Name} {user_data~Last Name} and I live in {user_data~City}, {user_data~State}. I urge EPA to stop weakening protections for families and communities against PFAS pollution. We’re alarmed that instead of protecting families from toxic PFAS pollution, this federal administration has:

• Moved to delay and eliminate drinking water protections for several PFAS chemicals. This move puts communities and children at greater risk, and threatens more than 100 million Americans who have these toxic chemicals in their drinking water. 
• Abandoned its detailed scientific assessment of the risks to farms and drinking water from PFAS-contaminated sewage sludge used as fertilizer. EPA has replaced it with inadequate guidance that downplays those risks. 
• Reached a weak settlement with Chemours, a notorious PFAS polluter, that fails to fully hold the company accountable for widespread PFAS contamination. 
• Increased industry influence over EPA decisions about people’s health by appointing Chemours executives to its Science Advisory Board.

Families deserve better. No family should have to worry about toxic chemicals in their drinking water. No farmer should lose productive farmland because of pollution they did not create. No community should be forced to pay for contamination that could have been prevented. 
 
PFAS pollution is preventable. The most cost effective, safest way to protect our communities is to stop PFAS before it reaches farms and drinking water supplies. Preventing pollution at the source is the most effective and affordable way to protect communities and ensure polluters bear the cost of their pollution—not farms, families and communities.

I urge the federal administration not to weaken protections for families and communities against PFAS pollution and, instead, strengthen safeguards against PFAS pollution so polluters pay, not our families and communities.
