This is a huge victory in the fight to restrict these toxic "forever chemicals." The Biden administration and the EPA are finally delivering on our demands for safer drinking water and prioritizing public health. A great first step!

By the way, in Germany in the Pfalz region a quite large area is poluted with PFAs which slowly but steadily enter the water cycle

Pfalz translates to Palatinate. I always find it funny when I read it bc it reads like "palatable Palestine" in my dyslexic mind, schmackhaftes Palästina.
So our palatable Palestine in the South-West is more and more tasting of PFAS?
Noice.
I reckon, polluting palatable Palestine with PFAS is profitable.

It was not for long in Rastatt. It suffices. https://www.swr3.de/aktuell/nachrichten/gift-pfas-pfc-verunreinigung-deutschland-suedwesten-bw-rlp-102.html

Giftige Chemikalien: Diese Orte im Südwesten sind verunreinigt!

Man kann das Gift weder sehen noch riechen oder schmecken. Und jetzt ist klar: Das Problem ist größer als gedacht. An Hunderten Orten in Deutschland wurde das Gift nachgewiesen. Hier findest du eine Karte.

Woah! Hadn't heard of that regional issue before, at all. Many thanks.
