[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a just society, people who work at the EPA should be prosecuted and sued and have their assets forfeited to compensate cancer victims. gTFOOH with “EPA science.”  They are supposed to REGULATE toxins, and they have demonstrably sided with big money instead.

If you want to be clear about political action on PFAs, there are folks in both parties to blame, but mostly on the GOP side.

"At least 43 companies or industry organizations lobbied on the PFAS Action Act, federal records show. Lobbying records that include the bill submitted by the American Chemistry Council trade group, which represents chemical makers, total about $17m, though the portion of that which was spent on the act is not publicly available.

Meanwhile, Capito has received about $180,000 from the chemical industry since 2017, and represents a state with a DuPont factory that is responsible for extensive PFAS contamination. DuPont lobbying records from the last session that include the PFAS Action Act total about $2.5m, though it is not clear what portion of that was spent on the bill."
