Pingree presses EPA on withheld PFAS health review
A senior House Democrat is pushing EPA for answers on a delayed report on the health effects of “forever chemicals.” Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), ranking member on the House Appropriations Subcommittee overseeing EPA, sent a letter Thursday pressing EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin over “a growing pattern of interference with the Agency’s scientific work,” the letter reads. A ProPublica exposé published last week revealed the agency has for months delayed the release of a final toxicity report linking developmental, liver and reproductive risks to the chemical perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA).
