The EPA is proposing new limits to regulate six toxic forever
PFAS chemicals found in drinking water

PFAS chemicals are found in drinking water supplies across the
country and can be highly toxic at extremely low levels.

Submit your public comment to the EPA before the May 30
deadline to urge them to finalize strong regulations to protect
our communities from PFAS.

Dear NRDC Activist,

Every day, as many as 94 million people in communities
across the country drink water contaminated with PFAS at levels
exceeding EPA's proposed health standards.

Exposure to PFAS — known as "forever chemicals" because
they are extremely resistant to breaking down in the environment
— has been linked to a long list of health effects, including
cancer, immune suppression, infertility, and developmental harm.

Thankfully, the EPA recently released a groundbreaking
proposal to regulate six PFAS chemicals that would save thousands
of lives every year — a huge win for safe drinking water — and
they need to hear from millions of supporters like you before the
May 30 deadline.

Submit a public comment in support
of the EPA's historic proposal to regulate PFAS chemicals. If
we're going to end the scourge of PFAS, then we must have
stronger protection from these toxic chemicals in our drinking
water. ( [link removed] )

Not only are PFAS chemicals contaminating our drinking
water, but they persist in the environment, build up in our blood
and organs, and continue to cause harm decades after they are
released into the environment.

But while the EPA's proposal is a bright light at the end
of this tunnel, big chemical corporations that have been allowed
to manufacture, use, and release the PFAS chemicals that are
polluting our environment with impunity are already trying to
weaken these necessary protections.

We simply cannot allow these PFAS polluters to snatch this
victory for safe drinking water away from the communities that
have been devastated by PFAS-related illnesses and death every
year.

Submit your public comment urging the EPA to quickly
finalize this proposal and to implement a rule that will finally
start protecting our communities from PFAS chemicals-contaminated
drinking water. ( [link removed] )

The EPA's finalized proposal to regulate these six highly
toxic chemicals — all part of the larger PFAS class of more than
12,000 chemicals — is a historic start to protecting our families
and most vulnerable community members, especially children and
pregnant people. But that's not all.

By proposing these long-overdue limits, the EPA is
signaling that they may start moving toward addressing PFAS as a
class of chemicals in drinking water in future rules. If EPA
makes that move, it would be a critical next step to ensuring the
fundamental right of every family to have safe water flowing from
their kitchen tap.

Please, lend your voice and submit a public comment today.
The EPA must hear from you in order to enact the strongest
possible protections from PFAS in our drinking water. ( [link removed] )

Thank you for being with us. Your actions today can make
all the difference.

Sincerely,

Erik D. Olson
