For the first time in history, the EPA just proposed to weaken our strongest federal drinking water protections against toxic "forever chemicals.”

The agency has proposed rolling back enforceable limits on four toxic “forever chemicals,” known as PFAS compounds, in drinking water. PFAS are linked to cancer, weakened immune systems, harm to babies during pregnancy and other developmental risks, even at very low levels.

It is also proposing to eliminate a key safeguard designed to address PFAS mixtures and to delay compliance deadlines until 2031, giving polluters two more years to avoid accountability.

These protections were finalized in 2024 after decades of advocacy. Now they could be dismantled.

176 million Americans have already been drinking PFAS-contaminated water for decades. This would make it worse.

PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment and build up in your body.

Here's what you can do:
🚰 Filter your tap water. Reverse osmosis and activated carbon are the most effective for removing PFAS.
🔍 Check EWG's Tap Water Database. Enter your zip code to learn what contaminants have been detected in your local water supply.
📢 Contact your elected representatives. Demand that Congress investigate the legality of the EPA’s rollback and act to restore enforceable PFAS limits in federal law.

The Garden State has taken some important steps to confront its legacy of chemical pollution, often moving ahead of federal standards to protect public health. But the nature and extensive use of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” presents a major challenge.

Now, the issue is being compounded by shifting federal policy. The Trump administration is pulling back regulations on “forever chemicals” in our water and food.
