EPA is proposing the first-ever national standard to limit PFAS in drinking water. This action is a major step to protect communities from PFAS pollution, leveraging the latest science and building on existing state efforts to limit PFAS. Image This proposal would establish legally enforceable levels for six PFAS known to occur in drinking water. If finalized, the proposed regulation will require public water systems to monitor for these PFAS, notify the public and reduce the levels if they exceed proposed standards.

To kick off #NPHW, we’re going to talk about lead.

The science on lead is settled: there is no safe level of exposure. That’s why EPA has been working for decades to eliminate or reduce the use of lead. We know that lead is particularly harmful to children’s health.

Kids exposed to lead are more likely to struggle academically, experience behavior problems, and drop out of school.
