Like toxic chemicals in your drinking water? David Dunlap was hired by @EPA in OCT 2018. Has avoided a Senate confirmation hearing in which his prior Koch work experience might come up because Trump hasn't officially nominated anyone to fill the post.

Dunlap reportedly involved in high-level meetings that preceded @EPA's decision NOT to set drinking water limits for chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which “have been linked with kidney and testicular cancer, as well as other ailments.”
"According to Bloomberg, 'Koch Industries was assessed more than $400 million in fines, penalties, and judgments' between 1999 and 2003, such as for dumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of aviation fuel into a Minnesota wetland."
"Currently, Koch subsidiary Georgia-Pacific, a paper and pulp conglomerate, is facing at least one class-action suit related to chemicals now under Dunlap’s purview." His @EPAresearch bio fails to mention his other 30+ years' work experience in other anti-regulatory areas.
