“The Trump administration will set limits on the amount of ‘forever chemicals’ producers of the toxic substances can discharge into the water, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Monday.

The administration said it will set discharge limits for a class of toxic chemicals known as PFAS. The limitations will apply to companies that make these substances, as well as metal finishers.

In a press release announcing the move, the EPA also said it will evaluate whether additional limits are necessary to reduce releases of PFAS.”
