Trump Administration Delays PFNA Risk Assessment Report on Forever Chemicals in Tap Water
According to HuffPost, the Trump administration is delaying the EPA's final PFNA risk assessment, a key piece in addressing PFAS exposure in tap water across 28 states. ProPublica reported that the PFNA report has been finalized since April, yet the EPA denies it is final. PFNA is a PFAS chemical linked to developmental harms and reproductive health risks, with broader health concerns tied to the entire PFAS class. An estimated 25 million Americans have PFNA levels exceeding EPA guidelines, and about 158 million have detectable PFAS in drinking water. Critics argue the delay reflects a broader effort to weaken PFAS protections established under the Biden administration, and to undermine the EPA's Integrated Risk Information System program.
