Show Notes
The Environmental Protection Agency has released a draft list of potential drinking water contaminants, including microplastics and pharmaceuticals, for the first time. This list, known as the Contaminant Candidate List, could lead to new regulations for water utilities. The public has 60 days to comment before the list is finalized in mid-November. While experts are divided on the impact, some see it as progress in addressing plastic pollution. The EPA updates this list every five years and typically does not turn it into actual regulations.
