    EPA stalls long-planned nitrate cancer review as pollution crisis grows

    The EPA has delayed its re-assessment of nitrates in drinking water, which was initially suspended in 2019 and restarted under the Biden administration. Scientists and health advocates warn that outdated nitrate thresholds may not protect public health, as new research links lower levels to cancer and other illnesses. The Trump administration eliminated the EPA office responsible for the assessment, raising concerns about weakened health protections.
