US industry groups, including manufacturing and chemical sectors, have filed a lawsuit to block a federal rule aimed at setting the first-ever drinking water standard to protect people against toxic 'forever chemicals.' The rule targets per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and is intended to reduce exposure for approximately 100 million people. The most significant PFAS contamination was found in Pennsylvania at Brookside Village Mobile Home Park, exceeding new EPA and state regulations by more than 500x and 100x, respectively. The EPA's new drinking water standards to address the crisis are being challenged by corporate polluters, accusing them of sabotaging federal efforts to reduce these harmful chemicals.
