Summary
Concerns mount over how a Trump administration could handle clean water policies, including PFAS (“forever chemicals”) regulation and lead pipe replacement.
PFAS, linked to cancer and other health risks, contaminate much of the U.S. water supply.
Biden’s administration mandated utilities to reduce PFAS levels and replace lead pipes, with billions in federal funding. Trump’s team may delay or weaken these efforts, influenced by industry lobbying and Project 2025’s deregulatory goals.
Critics warn such rollbacks could worsen public health risks and increase long-term costs, despite bipartisan support for clean water protections.
That’s not the carpet we’re talking about. These are small area rugs with hugely concentrated glitter (…PFAS from things like aircraft fire fighting foam that occur near airports and military airbases).
The PFAS from your Glide dental floss isn’t even on the radar.
