The Trump administration has initiated measures to target PFAS contamination amid concerns over its presence in drinking water affecting up to 158 million Americans. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin highlighted the need for cleaner air, land, and water in light of the dangerous chemicals linked to health issues. The administration's plans include appointing a lead official for PFAS and setting wastewater guidelines. However, it remains uncertain if the Trump administration will uphold the drinking water standards established under Biden, which utilities and industry groups have challenged in court.
