Show Notes
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed adding microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and PFAS chemicals to their drinking water contaminant watch list for the first time. This draft list, part of their sixth Contaminant Candidate List, will undergo a sixty-day public comment period before a final version is expected by mid-November. While the list doesnt always lead to regulated limits, experts see it as progress towards real monitoring and controls. The list also covers seventy-five other chemicals and nine microbes, aligning with broader health initiatives. The final calls on these additions could spark real change in our tap water or more talk, so stay tuned.
