Trump administration proposes easing limits on forever chemicals

The Trump administration announced plans to rescind restrictions on four types of PFAS in drinking water and extend compliance timelines for two others. Officials described the move as a realistic approach to protecting public health.

On Monday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised President Donald Trump for his commitment to removing forever chemicals. These substances have been linked to cancers and other health harms and are found in tap water across many congressional districts.
