• 9 Things To Know About The EPA's Regulations For PFAS In Drinking Water

  In April 2024, the U.S. EPA introduced new regulations1 establishing maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for six specific per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water, highlighting the urgency to address their presence due to environmental and health risks. The regulations mandate MCLs for individual PFAS and utilize a hazard index for mixtures to ensure safe levels are maintained. Additionally, the EPA proposed the best available technologies for PFAS treatment and disposal methods for residuals, emphasizing the need for effective and sustainable water treatment solutions.
