US sets first standard to curb 'forever chemicals' from drinking water https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-sets-first-standard-curb-090000945.html Experts have predicted that the release of new regulations will spur more PFAS-related litigation. Last year alone, lawsuits accusing major chemical companies of polluting U.S. drinking water with toxic PFAS chemicals led to over $11 billion in settlements. A study released last year by the U.S. Geological Survey found that nearly half of U.S. tap water samples contain PFAS. Can of worms.
