PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)

The Trump administration's plan to eliminate Biden-era Pfas drinking water regulations and replace them with a large-scale destruction strategy is criticized as harmful to public health and beneficial to industry. The EPA's decision to roll back these regulations has been condemned by advocates who argue it undermines efforts to reduce dangerous 'forever chemicals' in water.

ICE is planning a detention facility for children and families on a heavily PFAS-contaminated site in Louisiana, which was a former military base. Groundwater there has been found with at least 41 million parts per trillion of toxic 'forever chemicals'.
