AG Tong and AG Raoul led a coalition of 15 attorneys general opposing the Trump Administration’s efforts to gut data reporting and recording keeping requirements for PFAS forever chemicals. In a comment letter sent today to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, the attorneys general oppose rollbacks to PFAS reporting requirements mandated by Congress in 2019 under the Toxic Substances Control Act and promulgated by EPA in October 2023.

“PFAS forever chemicals are a toxic menace to human health and our environment. Trump’s latest effort to gut PFAS regulation is an insult to the families, workers, and especially the firefighters who have been disproportionately exposed to these dangerous chemicals. We urge the EPA to abandon this proposal,” – AG Tong
