The EPA is pulling back on a health assessment for PFAS chemicals, saying that political interference in the final days of the Trump administration undermined the report.
The EPA claims that this constitutes a violation of the Scientific Integrity Policy and the documents have been removed from the website while a review is conducted.
Trump officials ordered a change to key aspects of the assessment for the so-called “forever chemicals,” which have reportedly been linked to cancer and reproductive problems.
PFAS can contaminate groundwater and have resulted in dairies not being able to market their milk.
