Trump administration proposes new research for microplastics, pharmaceuticals in drinking water. The EPA has proposed adding microplastics and pharmaceuticals to a list of priority contaminants.
President Donald Trump’s administration announced Thursday it wants to fund research on microplastics and pharmaceuticals in public drinking water and examine their potential health impacts. The proposal could help environmental regulators create future drinking water restrictions.

The federal government also announced a $144 million program to measure, research and remove microplastics from the human body as part of the administration’s Make America Healthy Again initiative. The program will prioritize pregnant people, children, patients with chronic conditions and workers in high-exposure environments.
