IT:🚰 Chemical industry attempts to discredit the EPA's limit on PFAS, and... How do you feel about the upcoming election?
Welcome to Wednesday, August 28th, believers...
The chemical industry is engineering scientific doubt of the EPA's federal drinking water limits for toxic forever chemicals.
Last month, toxicologist Michael Dourson, who received funding from chemical makers, shared a detailed plan with scientists, consultants, and lawyers to develop and publish science that discredited the EPA's PFAS limit from earlier this year. EPA staff claim Dourson and his team are engineering an ethically blurry plan to generate uncertainty and doubt around the actual science underpinning the PFAS limit.

Most recently, Trump's team has criticized her for "dodging the press," saying she "doesn't want to talk about her radical agenda."
