PFNA can be found in drinking water systems that serve about 26 million people.

The EPA’s toxicity report on the forever chemical has sat in limbo for months, raising concerns that the Trump administration might change it or not release it at all.

I usually make things for people to use at home, but it seems to me that the only purpose of this bowl is to bob and spin in the Gulf.

Federated Farmers are blatant in protecting their right to pollute everyone's drinking water. 'It's our drain, find a different source.'

"Canterbury has seen a 1000% increase in dairy cattle numbers since 1990, alongside a near doubling of irrigated land."

"The national study comes a month after Environment Canterbury declared a nitrate emergency, and a week after dairy giant Fonterra announced record profits and payouts to farmer shareholders."

Those two things are not unrelated.

Amid Rise of RFK Jr., Officials Waver on Drinking Water Fluoridation — Even in the State Where It Started
---

As federal agencies review their guidance on fluoridation and the nation’s top health official calls fluoride “industrial waste,” state and local governments are pulling back on the practice, upending a decadeslong public health success story.

“This represents millions of dollars of #research, potentially, that’s now being stopped,” one of the employees said, adding that Americans “aren’t going to benefit from the release of this #science.”

The move to halt the agency’s scientific research has prompted concern from scientists & environmental groups that findings could be altered to conform to the #Trump admin’s #political agenda [gee, ya think?].​

In recent months, #EPA scientists have contributed to studies in scientific journals on subjects such as #PFAS & #microplastics in urban sewer overflows, comparisons of different methods for testing #DrinkingWater for #lead, & #groundwater #pollution by naturally occurring #arsenic.

Details about the *review process* remain unclear.
