Study finds sewage is major source of PFAS in the Solent.
PFAS enter sewage when we:
- wash - it's in some toiletries
- clean pots or food containers made with PFAS
- wash clothes or upholstery treated with PFAS
- use cleaning products containing PFAS

On May 18, 2026, @EPA publicly acknowledged: "The science on the two most studied PFAS has never been clearer. They are linked to serious health effects, they persist in the environment, they build up in the human body. And addressing that is not optional. It is essential to making America healthy again. ... The science on these two chemicals is some of the strongest of any drinking water contaminant we regulate."

Other potential culprits are more than 16,000 chemicals that can leach out of plastics. At least a third are toxic to humans or animals, including hormone-mimicking bisphenols, phthalates, flame retardants and PFAS, commonly known as forever chemicals. chicagotribune.com/plastic-p…

USA: "The grim reality is that 23-35 million pounds of pesticide ingredients used annually in the United States are PFAS. California has registered 53 PFAS pesticides. And about 2.5 million pounds of those poisons are applied annually to California cropland."

The Trump administration is moving to roll back limits on some PFAS, the toxic “forever chemicals” found in the drinking water of millions of Americans.
The Biden-era rule set the first national drinking-water limits for several PFAS compounds. But industry groups argued the standards were legally flawed and too costly to meet.

The Biden-era rule set the first national drinking water limits for several PFAS compounds, but industry groups argued the standards were legally flawed and too costly to meet. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says the chemicals still need to be addressed, but that the previous administration overreached.

Breaking news: The EPA proposed repealing limits on four types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water.
The proposal would end the Biden-era restrictions on four PFAS compounds and give utilities more time to comply with limits on two others. wapo.st/3PAD2lM
