EPA announced a joint effort with the US Army to test drinking water surrounding selected pilot Army installations for PFAS contamination. The sampling will serve as the first step in beginning remedial actions to protect nearby communities from PFAS exposure. The sampling is in line with the Biden-Harris administration’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap to identify and protect communities from new and existing PFAS exposures.
