“Federal attorneys are asking a court to allow the EPA to drop a series of regulations on PFAS in drinking water. The chemicals are used in a range of products and are tied to health issues like cancer.

The EPA introduced the first federally enforceable limits on six different types of PFAS in drinking water last year, under the Biden administration.

The Trump administration’s EPA announced plans to undo regulations on four of those in May. Now it’s asking a federal court to make it official.”
