PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals found in drinking water supplies across the U.S. They are linked to cancer, thyroid disease, immune dysfunction, and developmental harm. Regulatory standards exist. Enforcement is inconsistent. Communities are still drinking contaminated water while the process moves at government speed.
PFAS contamination has been documented in water supplies serving millions of Americans. EPA has set Maximum Contaminant Levels. State enforcement varies wildly. Utility operators often know the problem exists and lack the resources, regulatory clarity, or political backing to fix it. We push for enforcement that is viable — not just hopeful.
Clear, science-based information about what PFAS are, where they come from, how they accumulate in the body, and what health effects the peer-reviewed literature actually documents — without political filtering.
PFAS regulation requires political will. We engage with the legislative and regulatory process — supporting stronger standards, enforcement funding, and accountability for polluters — at both state and federal levels.
Water operators need practical guidance on PFAS testing, monitoring, treatment options, public notification, and regulatory compliance. We translate the science and the regulation into steps utilities can actually take.
