EPA Published PFAS Strategic Roadmap: EPA’s Commitments to Action 2021-2024

EPA released a PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) Strategic Roadmap for 2021-2024 detailing research, regulatory, and remedial steps that it plans to take across the agency to alleviate exposure to PFAS pollution. The report focuses on prioritizing the “protection of disadvantaged communities” who live near known and potential sources of PFAS contamination. Other focus areas include holding polluters accountable, preventing PFAS from entering the environment, considering the lifecycle of PFAS, and ensuring science-based decision-making. The Roadmap includes action at every level of government–federal, Tribal, State, and local—to tackle PFAS contamination. More information on EPA’s PFAS work can be found here.
