The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

The EPA just announced the rollback of the first national drinking water standards for PFAS chemicals, protections that would have helped 100 million Americans. Leaders with the National PFAS Contamination Coalition condemned the decision.

Please use the link in the outrageous announcement to submit comments to the EPA. Tell them no amount of PFAS is safe to consume and you want PFAS regulated as a class asap! They need to stop the BS like they think we are stupid. Make some noise and tell your elected people this is not ok!

Bravo to those pointing out the data gap that is always there with industry investigations!! The H class of PFAS was highly present in the @saintgobaingroup.bsky.social investigation in Merrimack NH but the focus was kept on PFOA, gravely underestimating the true contamination of the situation

While partnering with an experienced research team is a privilege, I still feel we shouldn’t have to prove one type of cancer / health condition at a time when we know our exposure history and know what we see. I know other PFAS impacted communities would agree that exposure equals outcome.

The EPA won't say how it plans to assess toxic chemicals without it. They also won't confirm that it is going away. The press office told me "it is inaccurate to say that IRIS no longer exists” but did not respond a to follow-up question about whether it’s accurate to say that IRIS does exist
