Bill > S1473

This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue a maximum contaminant level goal and a national primary drinking water regulation for certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are man-made chemicals that may have adverse human health effects and can be found in various products like nonstick cookware or weatherproof clothing. The bill also directs the EPA to consider options for tailoring monitoring requirements for public water systems that do not detect or are below the maximum contaminant level for PFAS, and to prioritize providing technical assistance and funding to help small, rural, or disadvantaged public water systems comply with the new regulation.
