Let Them Drink PFAS: The Chemical Industry and Water Utilities
Seek to Block Protections Against Toxic "Forever Chemicals" in
Drinking Water
The EPA required the cleanup of several toxic "forever
chemicals" found in drinking water this past spring — but now the
chemical industry and water utilities have filed lawsuits
challenging these lifesaving standards. Help us fight back!

Dear NRDC Activist,
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required the
cleanup of several toxic "forever chemicals" found in drinking
water earlier this year, thanks in part to activists like you —
but now the chemical industry and water utility trade
associations have filed lawsuits against the EPA's rule to limit
six toxic PFAS chemicals in our drinking water.
Stand up against these corporate villains! Tell the EPA
that you support limiting toxic PFAS chemicals. ( [link removed] )
PFAS are a large class of more than 14,000 synthetic
chemicals that are found in everything from food processing and
packaging to cosmetics, cookware, dental floss, ski wax,
artificial turf, guitar strings, and much more.
The EPA standards address the prevalence of just six of
those PFAS chemicals in drinking water — but even that's too many
for the chemical industry giants seeking to block these vital
protections.
As many as 105 million people in the U.S. get their
drinking water from water systems contaminated by PFAS chemicals
at a level exceeding the new standards.
This daily 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, high cholesterol, abnormal fetal development,
and harmful effects on the liver, kidneys, and immune, nervous,
and reproductive systems.
Support the EPA restricting toxic "forever chemicals" found
in drinking water. ( [link removed] )
NRDC is racing to court to defend the EPA's lifesaving
standards. At the same time, we need as many activists as
possible to barrage the EPA with messages calling for the
strongest possible standards to protect millions of people from
the dangers of PFAS. The chemical industry and water utilities
routinely declare their commitment to safe drinking water, and
yet have long downplayed how dangerous these "forever chemicals"
are. Enough is enough.
Urge the EPA to stand strong against industry pressure and
keep toxic PFAS chemicals out of our drinking water. ( [link removed] )
