美国环境保护局(EPA)提出了指定在综合环境反应,赔偿和责任法(CERCLA)(也称为“超级基金”)下,指定两种广泛使用的人类和多氟烷基物质(PFA)为危险物质。该机构在一份新闻稿中表示,这一变化“将提高这些有害化学物质的释放的透明度,并有助于使污染者负责清理其污染。”

此举是拜登政府承诺解决某些“永远的化学物质”风险的一部分。

“Communities have suffered far too long from exposure to these ‘forever chemicals.’ The action announced today will improve transparency and advance EPA’s aggressive efforts to confront this pollution, as outlined in the Agency’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap,” EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan said. “Under this proposed rule, EPA will both help protect communities from PFAS pollution and seek to hold polluters accountable for their actions.”

建议适用于并酸(PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), including their salts and structural isomers, based on significant evidence they may present a substantial danger to human health or welfare or the environment. PFOA and PFOS can accumulate and persist in the human body for long periods of time and evidence from laboratory animal and human epidemiology studies indicates that exposure to PFOA and/or PFOS may lead to cancer, reproductive, developmental, cardiovascular, liver and immunological effects.

如果最终确定,则更改将触发PFOA和PFO版本的报告,从而提供EPA改进的数据以及需要清理并收回清理成本的选项。该机构还表示,它将阐明全国PFOA和PFO污染的程度,并“帮助所有社区避免或减少与这些潜在危险化学物质的接触”。

EPA计划在接下来的几周内在联邦公报中发布拟议规则制定的通知。出版后,EPA将持有60天的评论期。在评论期间查找有关的更新thedriller.com然后188金宝慱真人亚洲体育钻机Newscast,交付到您的收件箱。
