"Chemicals: Frustrated By EPA, States Blaze Ahead On PFAS" [1]

"EPA's action plan on toxic chemicals found in drinking water did not satisfy several states that plan to push forward with their own policies.

The per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, plan announced last month promised a decision from the agency within the year on maximum contaminant level regulations for two chemicals, PFOA and PFOS.

Some experts say the regulatory process could take as long as 10 years before a rule is finalized."
